Lucky it was, fished a pencil and teaser in one of my favorite spots. Had a couple swipes on a couple casts and did not hook up. Then sure enough, hooked up and it was off to the races, put the brakes on him just before he went around a rock.
Was not targeting the albi, did not know they were in the area.
Great fight, I was shaking from the adrenlen rush for a good 1/2 hour.
