What a day. After catching 30 to 35 nice Hybrids this big boy came along. Of course at first I thought I was hung up. The line had slowly tighten but the boat was moving quite a bit so I didn't think much of it. I decided to set the hook. Not much moved. Then it slowly came up alittle bit. I still thought I had a log. But then it started to move alittle bit faster and away from the boat. Thats when Tony and I both said "It' s no log". About 25 minutes later and all of the poles that were out were now in, it surfaced. With one swift scoop Tony attemped to get it in the net, but it was too big. I reached down and kinda stuffed it on in. Once we got it in the boat and quit high fiving, we attempted to weigh it. The problem was my scale only goes to 50lbs. and it wa reading 32lbs(digital). We knew it was heavier than that. So we took measurements. But what I now know is it was  50 plus 32lbs. After Tony found the formula and we multiplyed it out, It weighed 82.68 lbs. After making sure it wasn't some record we realeased it for someone else  to have the pleasure of High Fiving!!!!!!
