That's a hog. Nice fishI use 40lb mono to keep the fleas off. 17 lb leader for good action at the presentation. I almost lost the one in the pic last year on 30lb mono in late August. Even on mono the fleas were so bad I had to stop reeling for a couple minutes to peel them off, they completely stopped the retrieve. Fortunately 2 of the 3 hooks were well hooked and he was pretty tired at that point and went for a nap in the mud.
