I am officially addicted to fishing at the Falls of the Ohio! Yesterday evening, I hooked into somethine HUGE! I was using my medium action spinning rod with 8 lb. test...it couldn't handle that monster of a fish! I don't know if it was a striper or catfish or what! I hooked into him and he started peeling off line like crazy! I did all I could to try and get him into the calm water, but he wouldn't budge! I ended up chasing him downstream for maybe a half mile and for half an hour. It was awesome! He finally got down into some rocks and sawed my line off. I was exhausted but still very excited to have done battle with him for as long as I did! I really believe it was a nice striper because there were stipers feeding where I hooked into him! I can't wait to go again tonight....I think I might up my line strength just in case it happens again!
