Something i forgot to mention about this catch. I didnt take my good rig to my parents house that weekend and my stepdad had mentioned some old rigs in the barn. I found 2 Zebco 33's and an Ambassador. One of the Zebs had line on it but was locked up. I decided to take it apart and see if i could get it to work. After about 30 minutes of degreaser and and an air compressor i got it freed up. I greased and oiled it and got it to cast smooth. I fished for about an hour before landing the monster. When my stepdad got home he said he couldnt believe i caught a fish on that rig. Turns out, that was the first rig i caught a fish on when i was 7...im 41 now. It was purchased in the late 70s and never had the line replaced. Anyway, i realize there are much better stories out there, but im still in awe every time i think about it.
