[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 459664, member: 22374"] What used to be prime LMB fishing now has mostly snakeheads (SH). So, to continue culling their population I went out today with a very atypical SH rig, medium rod, fairly light reel with 12lb mono (no leader) which is VERY light as SH break much heavier line than that. It's a good thing I had my Boga grip, I'd never have been able to bank them with such light line. I know what you're thinking, you can easily bank a 5lb LMB on 12 lb test, but definitely not a SH, they go whacko out of the water. One biggun pulled ~20 feet of drag out with the drag snugged all the way down and then spit the hook. I got into and lost 4 more before I got these two. Both had totally empty stomachs at two in the afternoon! I had to stop because I didn't want to carry more than 8 pounds of fish walking home.
