- Catch Story: Caught on north shore of Harrison Bay using white spinner on 20 lb fluorocarbon line with 30 lb fluorocarbon leader. Northern followed lure up to boat and dove down without striking. Left lure in water, bobbing along near boat and Northern returned, striking from below and ran. She jumped out of water once, and reeled her in without a great deal of fight. This was literally, the last cast on the last day of a 4-day fishing trip. Can't think of a better way to end it.
