Congratulations!!!! The fish of a 1000 casts and something to be proud of in this area.
Just like "elwestb", I had one on at Dale Hollow lake several years back. I was tolling a "Spoon Plug" in 18' of water and thought I was hung on a stump until it started moving! Fought it for 5 mintutes or so until it got close to the boat and came to top of water and thrashed around and broke my line. It looked to be 30" or better. :-(
