Caught this 7-8 lb spawner last weekend. Probably my new pb. Fished the got em coach real gill, reeling very slowly, and got whacked fishing right off a floating dock and an adjacent weed line on the shore. Gear was 8" Phenix m1 H, and okuma Citrix 364 w 20 lb pline copolymer. Hopefully I can top this fish this year and get that double digit!
