Lake Erie Monster

Hey Dan, Got this monster this morning(above) on ultralite (5 # test braid) and a special 1/24 oz jig-spin that I tie. Taken from Lake Erie (and released) during stormy conditions -have seen lots of dead birds floating, maybe these big cats are feeding on them??!! Fish this big sure would have an appetite for bird meat protein! Now if I can take fish like this on small tackle, can you imagine what I'm prepared to do with a BIRD and 40# braid on casting gear??!!!! Take care, JOHN
