What a blast catching big fish on light gear.
And .... before the morality police chime in ...... I realize that overplaying a fish increases mortality but I was not targeting (nor would I target) bigger species on line/rods weights that would be unethical. By-catch happens. |
And a person should not have to defend their actions or style of fishing to anyone else here or any other site etc. Just shows how poor the behaviours of some are in here that you feel you need to defend yourself when posting a pic, a story or comment.
Catching a 9.9lb walleye on an ultra-light rig would be a fun fight for sure.
