Pat,
Thank you. My wife hooked it and got so tired (we had been fishing most of the day, pulling in several between 12 and 14 inches), she handed me the pole. At first I thought she tagged into a carp, so I increased her drag. Needless to say, almost lost it when it took to top water (we were running ultra light with 4 lbs test). Very fun day on a lake not really known for its bass. She was 3 inches off the state record.
