I lost a favorite fly. There was no way I was lipping that thing to get it back.........
When he ate, I thought it was the mother of all Florida bass and strip struck hard. His tail came out and slapped the water and I knew right away what it was and thought "oh, this will be over quick" and it would have been but he was hooked just outside the dentures in his upper lip. I probably could have broken him off, but thought what the heck, and battled him for the next 45 mins. When he dug his feet into the bottom there was no moving him further (not that I wanted him any closer). Once the 4' leader was in the tip top I pointed the rod at him and popped him off.
Was it fun? Sorta. Interesting? Extraordinarily.
It's surprising how much strain 20 lb mono can take.
