Nice fish!!, really nice!:cheers: How large was that plug?:eek: I like a longer rod for soft plastics. I have a 7' 6" medium/light action graphite composite combo made by Shakesphere I just put one of my new ABU Garcia baitcasters on with 20 lb. floro I've been using for flukes, worms, etc. I was using a 6 in Yozuri F minnow w/yellow top & orange belly. This time I attached the pics of me running past my nephew's boat in the main canal, not where the fish was caught. That canal has an avg depth of 18 feet but right in that area there is a hole that drops to 28 and that's where we started.
