An amazing body of water that definitely has something to surprise you with. This catch is from the archives, but I wanted to share my big fish and honestly the most intense fight I've had in a long time, so here goes: for most of the day nothing was biting, so I got a bit lazy and wasn't paying as much attention to my retrieve, but I felt a delicate contact with the lure (Azura Fortran 10g) and went silent, dropped the lure to the bottom, waited and made a small jerk. It took it, and how, on the hookset I realized the size was pretty decent, then a 10-minute battle, every time I thought it was running out of steam it seemed to burst loose again, it just wouldn't let me bring it to shore, only on the third try did I manage to get it closer and get a good look, the rush was incredible. Near the shore it gave me one more really impressive head shake, during which I already thought it would get off, but it was hooked solid and with some difficulty I finally managed to get it into the net. Really awesome memories and emotions.
