I hooked into this fish in january, trolling a rapala near cisco beach about 2:00. We had caught 30+ fish that day. I had been setting the hook and letting my young son reel them in. I set the hook on that 12 pounder, felt him for a couple cranks then handed it to the boy and said, this is a little better one than you have been catching (thinking it was about 7 lbs or so). He got a couple cranks on it and that is when $hit happened. He was jerked to the back of the boat and the pole tip hit the water. I snatched the pole, then the boy (in that order). I said sorry son, this one's mine. But he's proud to tell everyone "ME AND MY DAD CAUGHT THAT FISH"
