Elnut, you are a good man. I will have to agree with you releasing the big one. It would be hard to kill a big fish like that, but I am sure a lot of people would enjoy seeing such a fish. It is fun to dream, but great things do happen, someone will break the record in time. I hope it is one of you guys who love the big bronzebacks. Boy! Wouldn't it be something to see someone battling a 12 pounder on a Float-n-fly rig. If you had a good reel, and more importantly, a good drag, it could be done. So, that is a thought for you guys out there with cheap drag systems. You may want rethink things. I know one thing, there is nothing more stimulating to the human nervous system than a big smallmouth that wants to rip your fly, line, rod and reel right out of your hand. I wish everyone a great Float-n-Fly season. The "battle with the fly" is closer than you think!

Thanks for the kind comment. My luck, if I ever did hook the record it will be when I am fishing with about a 14 foot leader, by myself (like I do most of the time) and it is dang near impossible to land a 3 pounder with that long of a leader much less a 12. Sure would be fun to try.
