did you weigh that fish? looks like it would go under 2 pounds for sure but it is hard to judge from pictures - still a really nice grayling.

Thanks Shawn. The fish definitely did rip some 6lb line off of that reel!

I weighed the fish but the scale may have been a bit off to think of it now. I would weigh 46 cm walleye and the scale would say that they would weigh 3lbs.

Yeah... the Grayling certainly seemed like a solid weight. It felt as if the Grayling weighed a fair amount more than a 45 cm walleye.
