Yeah it definitely took me two hands to hold that one 
That's a size 35 Pflueger reel on there too, so a decent sized one. The crazy part is I had never fished there before and had about an hour before dark so I decided to just fish from shore for a little bit with that one rod rigged up with a little 3/16oz jig head and a small paddle tail swimbait. It took me ten minutes or less to hook into that one. I was actually looking for largemouth, but that was certainly a welcome surprise. I caught another around 15" and saw a lot of risers. Never did find any bass, but I think I'll head back up there with my float tube, a 6wt and some sinking line soon.
