That must have been a hell of a fight. The only fight i've felt lately was a 4 inch brook trout that escaped as I pulled it out of the creek.
Sighs.........................................Life....................
I'm very jealous of all your pictures, and not just yours, especially those guys with the big brookies in their hands on that lake in quebec (not sure which one).
I think I must be fish repellant

Maybe I should start using worms and bait.............plastic hasn't been serving me well lately.................
Anyways, CONGRATS on your monster bass
