Default wanna guess length?

hit the river late, just before lunch today. First cast fired out a worm. didnt really like where it landed so I gave it a few minutes and decided to recast elsewhere. started reeling and couldnt. snag yup. then it moved. and out she came! Turned and hit the main current. I have a big full reel on and I was starting to worry about getting spooled! took me almost 20 minutes to finally get her out of the current and into slacker water so we could both catch our breaths. Eventually got her to shore took a couple pics, measured her length and kissed her goodbye. She came straight out like a rocket all but her tail, what an awesome way to get the blood pumping now only 67 more to my goal
