That is one nice fish. Id like too add another river monster too the list. Not as exciting as the sturgeon or the pacu, but was still awesome.

If my buddy wouldnt have been there i probably couldnt of landed this.My small reel couldnt budge this thing from the bottom. my bud had too grab my line and kinda of force him my way as i reeled in the slack. Kind of felt like i was hung up until i felt it give way then it dug in again.
I was using 30 lbs power-pro with a 5 foot light action ugly and a abu garcia cardinal reel.
In the second pic you can still see my carolina leader and 2 oz sinker.Catch and Release!!!
