Not to be a tool--I think line class records for a fish only known to get 25 or so lbs is foolish. Don't get me wrong I'm very happy with her catch and her smile says it all! I'm having some difficulty fathoming a guide using 10lb test when specifically targeting LMB in Texas. I assume they were offshore and using drop shots--still seems like a stunt to me akin to using a .223 on a big mulie buck. I know it CAN be done but am not comfortable with the margin of error.
I'd love to be in a boat with my daughter and see her battle/land a such a fish.
