First Tubing of 2013
#12
[cool][#0000FF]While living in Arizona I landed several flathead cats from 25 to 30 pounds on 6# line...most of them hooked on lures being fished for bass or crappies. Have landed untold fish over 10# on both 4 and 6. Actually scored a 10-1 club entry with a 41 pound striper from the American River in Sacramento on 4#. Was fishing for small summer run steelhead, hooked a small trout and the striper ate the trout on the end of my line. Took almost an hour to claim my prize. Lost a couple of bigger ones that simply took off downstream faster than I could follow and found some bankside brush.

If you have decent line and a reel with a good drag there should not be many excuses for breaking off a big fish. Of course, bad knots, failure to retie after a big fish, snags...and impatience...all contribute to premature releases.
