Yep, fishing with those little jigs is always an adventure, my last outing I stuck a 6 lb. green carp that had it's way with my med lite rod and 6 lb. Suffix Elite line. Last I saw of it, it was headed down waving it's tail at me.

Pretty obvious Drumking had the drag loose and showed lotsa patience to horse in his 11 lb , 5 oz flat...

I did not horse this catfish. He horsed me. Grin. It was all I could do to hold on and keep my wrist from hurting so badly. I set the drag on all my reels to less than half of the pound test rating. That way even Moby Dick can’t break the line unless it gets into brush or rocks and breaks you off that way. 3 or 4 years ago in that very same area, while fishing with Cuonthelake, I caught a 26 plus pound Flathead on 4 lb test line. It took about 30 minutes and 1/2 mile down the river before the fish gave up. I have it on video, but I’m not sure if we took still pics or not.

Snagged, oh the drag was screaming! My line never broke, Suffix Elite is very good line, right DKHe just came unbuttoned, I got my jig and plastic back. The hook may have gave up I use lite wire hooks.
