This deadbeat hit my line like it wanted a scrap, then rolled over like a toddler with a sore tummy. Swear it whispered “just end it” on the way up. Tight Lines 🎣

This thing came up thrashing like it was auditioning for River Monsters.. Released it back into the wild so it can go tell its mates it got manhandled by a legend. Or develop PTSD. Either way, I’m counting this as a PB. Tight lines 🎣
