    So far so good Ed. I've been using the XPS Flouro for awhile and recently started breaking off hooksets with brand new line. I went to the store to look at some other flouro's (P-line or Seagaurd or maybe Trilene) and I saw the Carbon Gold.

    Spooled up really smoothly. Casts very well. I haven't seen a nick or fray yet. Good feel. No real stretch (except with the turtle). Very strong. Great feel. But the thing I like most is the gold color...you can really see it on top of the water, but it dissapears as soon as it goes under.

    The jury is still out...just used it Saturday and Sunday...but so far I like it!

    Did you drive down here to catch that?

    Now here is my real question - How did you weigh him?

    They tell me they taste like chicken, or is that frogs.

    Daryl, I've caught 2 just like that on the Northwest river.....they seem to like anything plastic in a green pumpkin or baby bass color.

    oops!

    Long time ago, was fishing with a "friend" in Burnt Mills. He hooked a monster Snapping Turtle and thought it would be cool to bring to landing for "Show and Tell". It was not cool and never made it to the landing!!!!! Fortunately, it did make it out alive. (Friend might not have, had he not released that thing!!!)
