But she turned out to be my new PB on LA...I'd estimate high 7 or 8...no scale, but over 23". About 10 ft deep, water was 63ish, visibility about 5 ft...

I was slow rolling a double willow War Eagle SB, w/in sight of the 360 bridge, when it just stopped. She did one big jump, I came close to soiling myself, then she dug in deep. I was able to release the spool and thumb drag it while I got back by the console, then I reeled hard, reached down and lipped her. Here's one more pic...

Thanks to the guys in the Cobra for snapping the photos for me.

I had to work today also but MAN that is a nice fish, Sure wish you had a scale, looks to be about 7.50 to 7.75 to me but what the heck do I know. Great fish and I hope to fish that lake someday.
