I got one sunday that looked like it was gonna explode. She had to be near 15 lbs. Thought I had me a fish ohio walleye til I saw it. Caught it on a 10 ft rod so it was about a 10 minute fight to get her on board and back in the water. What a blast ! The only problem with that long rod is trying to keep the fish on top long enough to net with my right hand. Also, trying not to fall off the back of my boat. Lol
