Awesome fish. Would have beat me hands down, what lake were you on? I'm from NE Ohio, and my 12+ came form Deer Creek. There are some monsters in there, caught them over 17". What were you using? I got mine on a custom jig I make on a deadstick rod, just letting my hands make it quiver a foot or 2 off the bottom. Anyway, great fish!
