Canandaigua - panfish party crasher

[Sk8man]

Admiral Byrd and I were in the midst of terrorizing the panfish and along comes the party crasher   Offered a little excitement on 4 lb test on  ultralight tackle. A hair over 20 inches long. He took off like a rocket when released.

That's a nice fish!  And anyone who fishes them with line light enough for them to break it knows how much fun they can be.  Nice job!

 

Curious - did you have to tighten and loosen the drag or did it just use its shoulders on you?

[Sk8man]

Thanks....loosened and tightened a little but let the rod do most of the work. Probably lucky it was in cold water too We didn't have a net in the boat either....
