Fishing out of the Merrimack River in Haverhill, MA. I was using a cheap ole walmart lake rod laced with 20lb test. Every time that thing came 6ft to the shore he took off and wanted to snap the rod lol.. After about a good 15+ mins i think he had enough. Was using regular worms i dug out of an old leaf pile in my yard. I wanna say its like 10lbs but what do you guys think? Biggest fish i ever caught and longest fight that's for sure.
