They are tough fighters, but are very suseptable to mishandling. We all need to do our part ot keep the mortality rates down so they can grow above the 50" mark.
I for one am glad the weathers turned cold as the lake is much more peaceful to fish this time of year. A bit to cold (for me) for night fishing anymore though . . . . .
See ya on the lake . .. . . .
