My First Rockfish
Went below Old Hickory Dam this morning and I caught my firsh Rockfish. It was 11 lbs and 12 oz and was caught on a medium light rod spooled with 6 pound test Yozuri Hybrid Soft line. I was fishing for walleyes and smallies when the fish struck. I gotta say WOW! It was a ton a fun to catch on light line. Now I know what Alphahawk is talking about. At first I thought I had a Drum or Buffalo on, but than it took off like a rocket. Lightened the drag and EAAASSED the fish in. I honestly thought I'd lose it, as heavy as the current was and the light line. After taking the photos, the fish was released to grow bigger and be caught another day.
