I was thinking about how that must be,heck it intense without being anchored down..was this upper or lower

Nice fish Chuck you got us excited to fish again. They must have ran some line out being that big and in that current.

Congrats

Very nice fish!

bh2&cs2,
Thx!.
They put the new Shimano Stradic CI4 2500 to the test,and myself...nothing like sitting on a skate board fighting a fish. I like this reel...bought from Auburn Sport and Marine(good folks by the way)this year and had them spool it up with Izor 8lb Hi-Vis just for float fishing

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 14, 2011, 11:55:12 PM »

8lb test! man I bet that was a fight

I run 15lb mono and 20-30lb braided line. I don't like to lose fish

I finally lightend up my rods. I like the meat sticks, I just picked up 2 lamiglas rods the higher end ones

. Now we got some fightin to do. My old steelhead rod was a 7' ungly stick like 15-30 line rating

I have been running the Berkley AIR IM8 10'9" for the last 2 years with no problems but have been looking to move up to say a 12.5 or 13.5 ft rod..just havent found the right one yet
