I'm gonna have to figure this guy out man, I know where his hole is and its near the corner of the falls under a huge rock.. So I want to let him take it but both times he's hit he's sucked it in and not really given me much of an opportunity to let him run necessarily because I think he's just bringing it back in to his hole.. I really think this time he almost rocked me like a grouper, my buddy thought I was snagged my pole was bent so bad and my line was frayed all the way up past the leader above the swivel so he was tearing me around on some rocks.. but i am gonna try to let him take it more next time like you said. gonna get a 5" bluegill or so and just let him sit right there for a while and if/when he takes it i'm gonna try to be patient! i will catch this dang fish i want one bad lol!
