With a front coming in, thought I'd do some fishing and caught a lot of nice 13-15 inchers, but got this monster 17.5 incher! Probably the best hookset I've ever made and was no way this one was getting off. Heavy, heavy wind conditions, this fish was in the backwaters of the creek connecting to a lake. If my smile is a little strange, its because I have a tooth pulled no more than 2 hours before I caught her!
