Big'un Hodges 4/28

Post by Dannicus »

Caught several clones and this behemoth at Hodges this morning. My scale sucks but definitely in the 8lb range. I debated on going to Otay today as it's much closer to me. I'm glad I chose to make the drive! It was great to see @Pourboy out there too. Good times!

Not exactly. I was flylining a Senko on my medium light Cashion finesse rod and KastKing megajaws shallow spool reel. So definitely light gear but not ultralight

Here’s the one I just got. I wish I could’ve tested it out on your fish.

KastKing Fish Scale, WideView... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5LHG6RK?re ... b_ap_share

Also besides you and the other guy I was talking to there was one more 8 pounder caught that day. 3 in one day! Crazy!
