I was out fishing at around 5-6 o'clock, and I hooked into something and it didn't really put up a fight at first but about 5 minutes in he was swimming everywhere. My son was in the boat with me and the fish took off towards the bow of the boat (well we hadn't seen the fish yet so we didn't really know how big he was) and the trolling motor was still in the water so I told my son hurry pull up the trolling motor and just as he did it, the fish jumped a good foot out of the water and he was just huge. It took us about 20 minutes all together to actually get the fish in the boat but after we got a stringer on him and got him back in the water we couldn't revive him, so we ended up taking him to the taxidermy and getting him mounted.
