Title: first big gt
Post by: aaron on July 31, 2007, 06:27:54 PM
just got back from a great day fishing!
i found a nice drop with a good current and first cast of a haymaker i had about 5 gts fighting over the popper untill one grabed it!buy the time i landed the fish i was stuffed!!!what a fish to catch!
Once i had my breath back i had another cast and once again the popper was smashed!!this fish fought like hell!! after about 40min he finally gave up and he was dragged into the boat,we removed popper and tryed to get him swimming again but no good,was a bit upset but so stoked i got to catch sum of these beasts.
Would like to thank all of you guys so much for all the tips!!

the braid is going ok.the only down side is it seems to hold a little more water than the power pro but for the price its allowed i would think
