Not going to get in full detail of this 3 minute battle.
Got to the water at 7:15 am was a little late on the waking up part.
I thought about where to fish all day yesterday during work, and figured out where i wanted to go and what kind of water i wanted to work.
I had a hole that was 20 feet long, two big boulders 10 feet below me (1 about 1 foot from the bank, and 1 about 4 feet out.) Then i had about 4 boulders above me 10 feet, reaching as far as 15 feet out. Along with a few submerged boulders en the middle.
There was 5 pockets of water in this hole to fish, i chose to leave the fishiest looking one for last. Worked the first one, first cast get slammed by an unknown fish. 2 casts later (same pocket) nothing. Down to the next pocket, couple casts nothing. the next 2 pockets i got nothing.
The last pocket was right before a boulder below me pushing the, I cast let me spoon swing through the pocket, start reeling when my lure was about 4 feet from the boulder and bam fish on!
Louts of blistering runs, a few jumps, along with lots of tug of war and teeth, boulders roubing on line. I could feel it all for about 3 minutes. No net, knew she was hooked good so i took my time with her till she couldnt handle it anymore.
Got her to the bank and she actually took off towards the bank and beached her self making it easy!
Amazing fight.
