Was fishing a deep pool in a Michigan river letting a gold spinner sweep through around 4ft deep when I felt it stop and start moving up stream, with a light vertical movement of my pole tip I secured the hook set and we were on. The power of this fish jumping out of the water left me in awe. With 3 aerials and a down stream chase I was able to net her.
Took a video and released her back to spawn another day. I wonder how heavy she would’ve been pre spawn!
This may be my lifetime PB, 30 inches on the dot, I didn’t have a scale so weight would be guessing.
