Get to tossin/pullin DSM's lure- Gets slammed, feels like a tree trunk- i tell whit to hold it while i back the boat up to "save" his lure design... I say its a tree trunk, and he says.....it feels like...a huge...he gave me my rod back as we gained line on it...i told DSM, if its a tree trunk, its coming in-- then i see the side...@#$^ grab the net, its big! After a few solid runs, tired it out, and DSM did the net duties- put er in the boat!
