I was waiting for you to chime in, Geo. That larger fish put up a heckuva struggle - I was surprised, and I was muscling her in as fast as I could. I'd have to estimate weight at 11-12#, but I could be off, I so rarely weigh big fish as I'm in a hurry to get them back in the water. I'm gunning for one over 28 this Spring. I know she's in there, and you'll be the first to know.
I've had my eye on that mini mag for a while...with your endorsement, how can I miss?
