I can’t even imagine the chaos after the net job! Congrats on an amazing catch!

Tail looks intact, gaff job?

The trick to keeping the tail intact is making sure you can’t actually fit it all the way into the net  :smt003
You can see the net in the pictures. It was worn out after the fight and the actual landing wasn’t too difficult.

I finally got the 40" salmon monkey off my back.  When I picked up the rod and felt the tug I knew right away "this is the one".
