This happened during a 2 hour lesson for a neighbor as I could not trust him to land! But he got a good lesson,?. This 41” 25 pound Cow of a striper almost spooled me, by the time I got him turned around he jumped out of the water 400 yards back! A 15 minute fight ensued and almost dead my self, i could only get the head in the net, reached over the side with both arms and plucked him over the rail! 10 minutes to revive him and safe release! Match a lifetime trophy catch for me!?
