I got this one on Saturday. First time I have caught one. Hit the flylined greenie. Pulled real hard. A couple minutes into the fight it didn't feel like a yt anymore. I was surprised at how quick it came in for how big it was. Guessing around 80#. Cool fish.

I was glad to have help unhooking it as I remember hearing the stories about Arne's misfortune with his gear. Mine came up still very much alive and kicking. The swim bladder never really filled with air, so it was trying to swim back down even before Brad got the hook out.
