I recently picked up a new (to me) LRH and Ron did a great tune-up job so I was excited to break it in today. First up was this:
Then I hooked a big one. I fought this fish on the reel for nearly 10 minutes, at one point falling almost all the way in to the water. Ron, I wish you had been there to hear that reel sing. There was a photographer for the Dallas Morning News in a near by drift boat who said he caught the whole battle on film. I gave him my email address and can't wait for the pics. Bill Higdon, a local guide and our T.U. veep of fisheries, was guiding the photographer. Picture credit to him:

and:
Finally the sun came out, had a few cold ones from the cooler and we called it a day.
I just got a couple of pics for the reporter who happened to be there. The story is set to run on April 5th on dallasnews.com
Here a re the pics:
