OH Striper?
Fishing for walleye/sauger this evening below OH dam, using 1/4 oz jig w/twister tail, I hooked into something that didn't want to stop or be turned. OK, I got to retrieve a few yards of line a time or two, but it was basically running at will.
When my braid started to get down to thin territory, I tightened the drag and the fish straightened my wire hook on my jig. Maybe it's time for a bigger capacity reel, ya think?
One fella caught a nice 24 inch walleye and, since he doesn't eat fish, he gave it to me. I thanked him profusely and the filets now reside in the freezer section of my fridge!
My only action was a big drum, a too small sauger, and a tail hooked buffalo that gave me quite a fight.
