they fight pretty hard. nice steady runs and dont give up. on 20lb tackle its a good fight. no acrobatics with these guys. soupies jump and give a show and require heavier tackle. i had my drag set at 11lbs and he took about 30 yrds every run and if we hadnt agreed to keep him and had to grab it by the tail instead of gaffing it...it would have tacken a good 20 mins.

Nice work! I do have to say the leo doesn't look 5' by your photo, more like 4'. Not hatin', just pointing it out.

Yup, its cursed for life now.
i hit up the same area about 100yrds south of the spot for nada. then hit up the pier for 7 smelt and 2 crabs. nothing extraordinary.
