That reminds me of my fight with a fish on the Ohio a couple of years ago on my 5' ultra light spinning rod using 14 spider wire throwin a black Mepps in-line spinner. The first cast I hook into something and away my line went...I had the drag set just right cause we were off to the races. This fish was actually pulling me down river in my TR 196 Triton Bass Boat. I fought this fish for over 45 minutes and was never able to see the fish. People came riding by and actually stopped to watch the excitement. My brother-in-law was standing behind me with a Gatorade in one hand and a camera in the other more excited than I was. He didn't know which to set down in order to grab the net, the camera or the Gatorade which was to help cool me off from the fight. I had never in my life been hooked up with such a strong swimming fish in my life. It was a blast and all of a sudden after being pulled from the Indiana side to the KY side and back to the Indiana side the lure just popped free from the fish... Really sad at least I wanted to know what it was giving me such a battle.....

P.s. Thank goodness that guy sat down in that boat, I thought he was goin in a couple of times when that cat made them big runs.....lol
