My dad and I decided to make one last trip to a local river in search of northerns. The weather was warm for this time of year. After 2 hours I cast over a sunken stump. I felt a thump on the line and set the hook. I caught a glimpse of him and told my dad we needed a bigger net. After several minutes this monster was in the boat. He was 36 inches and is the biggest fish I have ever caught.
