Alan, I know they tend to head off out to open water but if they outpace your winding down at any point and turn towards the shore it is all too easy for them to pick up the leader and slice through it. Cracking fish and I know you put hours in last year for it. Your weight estimate looks about right to me did you measure it? I have an excellent length to weight conversion formula.
The Truth is often stumbled upon by men, most of whom pick themselves up and hurry along as if nothing ever happened.
