    Matt,
    One of your best video’s yet. When the fish are too big for the net is a major bonus. They were all nice and thick. In my region they are very scarce and considered a trophy. You had a whole day of them. I get to catch their little cousin Pickerel some call them slime darts. I enjoy their fight and mentality - alpha predator. I would love to catch a Pike or Muskie. It is a goal someday. I also like the fact you primarily use mono vs braid. Everyone is braid crazy. I am sure it has it’s benefits and positive features.
