    I been telling myself today is the day! For the last couple year.. Definitely there are days wanted to toss my rods in the river many times and give up. But somehow I end up in the same spot... This is a bad drug.. I glad I didn't stop...

    Just seeing a picture of that monster made me smile. I can only imagine how it felt to catch it.

    Nice Jimmy! Congrats! I would also agree that is the fish we've all been looking for. I still haven't found mine, but I hope it'll happen someday.

    Cheers!
