Here is a tip, fish 15lb. and reef his butt in. I fish 12 too. One time on the Duc last year I was fishing one of my favorite low water holes. (Bob you know where I'm talking about, I see you there every year when its puma low.) I dont mind a hike through the jungle if the boat cant take me down. I lost a couple that could have gone low to mid 40's. It hurts to fight em' tell your arms are dead & he is almost in and bink!!!! Every time I fish light for nates or nookies it comes back and bites me in the ass. Thats why guides dont screw around, you never know when that fish of a lifetime comes.
