tHANKS FOR YOUR NICE REPLIES. i SURE GOT LUCKY. tHE BEST PART WAS THE RIVER WAS MUDDY, AND WE COULDN'T SEE THE MONSTER UNTIL I finally got it to the surface. Can't believe my $15.00 ultra-lite pole, and the drag held out for that lenght of time! Hope y'all get as lucky as me. Fastfrank

the man who took the pics for us was fishing a live gill my daughter katie caught (wouldnt let her poor ole dad have it ) and hung a real good blue but it spit the hook. he then rebaite dwith some skips that we left him and hours later he hung another fish he says he fought it for a long while before it broke his 80 pound power pro , so they were really moveing there last night .

Great going. It's always great when a kid can catch a big fish. I would like to get together with you some weekend and do some fishing. I usually fish wheeler and sometimes wilson close to wheeler dam.

I usually am available any weekend and sometimes during the week.
