Well done BGK...you should see some topping out at 22-23" this Summer. When they hit that mark they start seriously pulling as they get much wider and gain a ton more leverage...better beef up the tackle. A 26" female almost pulled my son off the dock late last Fall. Would have been a cold October dip. Keep it up, and keep posting photos! I'm happy for you.
