Had a great day at Clear Lake today! 

This girl was caught in about 8 ft of water. Gear used was a G Loomis Conquest 843S , Shimano Stella Fi 2500 with 20lb Vicious No Fade Braid and 12 LB Tatsu leader and a owner #1 wacky hook. This was the 3rd fish caught on this combo.
She took off when I set the hook and peeled off drag pretty good. I knew I had a good fish on, but was surprised at her size when I got her to the boat.  Took a couple of pictures and put her into the live well for awhile so we could go find someone with a scale. I didn't have one in the boat! Found another angler with a digital scale, took 2 weight readings and took her back to where she was caught and released her . She swam of immediately.
