Wow Sounds like a fun ride.

Dad did that last time we were up at Defeated. He had a 35" striper grab the Wee-Wart he was using. We chased that fish with the trolling motor as well. He wanted to keep it and eat it for dinner. the only problem was it wouldn't fit in the livewell. We had to empty a storage box and even then the fish's tail came out of it. Seems like we fed everyone in the campground that night.
