Customer Catch Story: Karianne LaRose

“I'm addicted to fishing so much that I will take 30 minutes of spare time before work just to catch fish. It was super hot and sunny that morning and I went to the local boat launch and saw no signs of fish. I baited my hook casted out and in the middle of talking to a game warden caught my line go from slack to gone! My drag started squeezing and I almost lost my pile. I then gripped my pole with both hands and swooped it straight up and back to set the hook and catch this thing. I fought it for several minutes before getting it to the dock and flipped it up out of the water and onlookers started applauding watching a woman wrangle in such a phenomenal sized largemouth.”
