The picture is a little fuzzy, but here's what it was caught on:


George, the firesuit is on. I know I'm going to catch some flack for the following information.

Equipment used:
#10 Eagle Claw Salmon Egg hook
Original Stubby Steves pellet. (it was slowly sinking with that hook)
Rod: G-Loomis SR720/6' Ultra Light Mod-Fast Action 1/32-1/8 oz, 1-4 lb test
Reel: Shimano Sidestab 1000 RE (Rear Drag)
Line: 2# Berkley Vanish shocked wink grin

If I had to guess, I'd say water temps were in the very low 70's.

TJ wanted us to fish for BG to take out of the pond. I'll bet that fish took 100 yds of line before it finally stopped and turned. If there ways any cover in the pond for the line to get hung up on, it would have been game over in a heartbeat.

UH OH-- good thing caught in yankee 70 degree water - LUCKY not DOA!

Don't count anyway since caught on a SNOOPY rod.. laugh
