Hey plunk, I think I hooked the same fish too. I wasn't going to say anything, cause I mean who'd believe me. But, I could tell he was 62 and a 1/2 lbs. by the way he shook his head before he spit the barbless #12 aberdeen hook I was using. Just as well though because I was only using 2 lb. test line. Mighta had him though if I'd been using my noodle rod instead of my pocket-fisherman. Hey what the heck, better luck next time, huh. Think I'll head on down and get me one of them 70 #ers I hear there's pinks in the river.
