ya I should have entered the larger ones in the tourney. Wanted to get the fish back into the water as soon as possible so was lucky to just have a tape measure close by. If i think the bow was in the double digits then i definately would have kept it, possibly got it taxidermed cuz ive never seen a double digit bow, especially on my line. They are in there, but didnt catch any this time. Lost a pretty large one, but dont think it was in the double digits.
Have fun at the tourney this coming week, hopefully you guys bring in some nice bows. Wish i had a bigger boat. I found the pink 4.5" apex worked pretty good- the new UV apex- not a slow troll one(fatter one), was the normal skinny kind, seemed to be catching more then the other guys apex's and plugs etc. until my line snapped, grr should not have used the stock apex line i guess, i think its 15 pound test on the larger apex's but im sure it had a nick in it as it broke rite at the apex hook and i was left with the apex line and swivel.
Cheers!
