Big Buffalo on the fly.
« on: April 14, 2006, 09:51:10 PM »
Hooked a Buffalo while Striper fishing with my 7wt that had to be close to 30 pounds. I fought it for what seemed like an eternity thinking I had finally caught one if them VW size catfish that have eluded me for many years. I was alone and had to handline the leader and ended up losing the fish. I got to see it and touch the leader but he made a run and my very $$ rod was in jeopardy so I let him break me. The best fight on a fly rod to date! He had that rod which is an extremely fast taper 7wt almost doubled.

Shad pattern fly.
