Nice fish.
Hi Jigfreak,
yeah,that one knew hand to hand combat,some WW-E tactics worked on him.
I have not seen the schools of adult herring for a few weeks now but,I have seen schools of 4 inch bait that look like p-nuts but they don't have the yellow tail so,I am not sure what they are.
they have black tails and look like herring,plain black,silver.hordes of them.

Malibu Kenny back in CT and hitting it hard!
Beautiful fish.
WTG guys, and on the release.
man,I wish you all could have seen this battle,heavy current,fish kept diggin and MK was huffing/puffing like an old steam train.12 minutes of hard fighting is what he got.
I stopped fishing to watch him get beat up.it was a great fight,taking line against a tight drag and straining muscles,,,wow,it beat him up.
I put the lipper on it and I could not lift it all the way up,I handed the lipper to him as I was on my knees and laying over the edge,it's a 2 foot drop to the water.
I gave the fish 35+ but,who knows,it swam away after a few minutes and we were happy.
I had more fun watching him get beat up than me catching it.
next spring we will do it again.
