Tough day on water we caught a good 16 pounder at the start then had shifter issues which forced me into working on outboard out over the water to manually put in forward gear. Now I’m grounded till I can figure out how to fix it.

Couldn’t get on them last night all I managed was three small catfish did have a monster that through the hook on me after a 5 or 6 minute fight. It took a dive straight under boat and for a quick second I gave slack to reposition so it wouldn’t cut line on boat and it flipped the hook out.
