I still have the rod and reel. the lure was a zoom lizard, Texas rigged. The rod was a MH xf 6'8"st crioix avid with a shimano stradic. I was using 6lb pline fluoroclear. My fish was 10lb 2oz and I still dream of it.

Thankfully, my tournament fishing partner was wise enough to question me after I took my first cast with my jig that had just on the previous cast caught a 13lber. I looked at him, cursed, and reeled it back in quickly, cut it off, and shoved it in my pocket. It now hangs over the top of a printed photo of the fish and I am grateful that my buddy had the brains to tell me to save it. Rod and reel, no longer do I have, but the bait, you bet I do (helps that I made the bait myself).

I have no sentimental attachment but have rod and the reel is on a different rod. Lost the crank bait.

Trashed the line after a few trips, then snagged and lost the bait, sold the rod, sold the reel.
