I fought a bigger one before.. It sucks when your reel breaks though. My pole snapped when I cought one of my 5 pounders and I flipped. Luckily I still had the bottom part so I was still able to "attemp" to reel it in
i caught about 8 that size in a park pond that had koi fish swimming in it today in New Hampshire... a pond that all i thought it had was koi i was slamming 3 lb mini-monsters on topwater frogs and curly tailed worms
