The forum is in the doldrums this morning so I thought I would stir a little controversy.
I know I�ll get in trouble but here goes...
LMB are boring � I quit fishing for them years ago when they became about as exciting as watching whiskers grow.
I began fishing for striped bass where the action is, and continued until my son built �our� ponds some four years ago, and we stocked Hybrid Striped Bass.
Forum members know the rest of the story, so don�t want to bore folks.
Monday I had a HSB on that was the most fun I�ve had in a L-O-N-G time.
Took me into the backing three times on a 5wt - can�t break the leader since switching to 14# �clear� braid GsP, with diameter of 6# mono.
The reel handle barked my knuckles so bad that they are still throbbing.
Yes, it was caught it on a # 12 pellet fly in front of a feeder...
The small hook pulled out on the third run�long distance release...
HSB will outfight a LMB 5 to 1 � LMB are boring...
