This was bad on my nerves but finally one pulldown kept on going until the rod was doubled over and then it was game on. Pretty good fight. Line was 20 lb mono with 17 lb flouro leader.

I didn't have my scales with me but it's my best blue cat for sure. I'm thinking 25-30 lbs? Guesstimates on weight requested. My biggest previous blue was 15.5 lbs and this one was significantly bigger. Just his head would have filled up a big dinner plate.
