...at Kerr Lake, actually seems smaller in the picture than he did in my hand. Measured at 10 3/4" and then released it. I actually thought I was hung up at first, then it started taking drag. Using a 5' ultralight rod and 4# test line, it was a good fight. Lure was a trout rigged 1/16 oz. white Rooster Tail, I had added some pink spots and changed the blade color from silver to gold with a magic marker, as I frequently do. It was a good day to be on the water, but pretty hot in an aluminum boat when the sun is out.
