After a long day and a lot of walking, I was able to hook up and land this whale. Really glad I decided to reload the spool with some fresh 12lb. Big thanks to my k9 sidekick for her fast response follwed by the best net work I could have hoped for, thank you Sequoia. Planning on a mount. Got a find the right taxidermist! 😂🎣🎣🎣💪💪💪

Caught him in our cast net. First time catching one, wasn't sure what it was. Needless to say, the white stork ate him. Are they good bait for anything?
