Nice fish
but it sounds like you should retire that rod and reward yourself with a new one

I'm assuming looking at your list of rods and reels Rig you would refer to yourself as a "tackle whore"

Good fish by the way!
Agree with Russ, good fish on a rod that sounds like it should have been retired a long time ago!

A catch like that is not "luck"!
People get fish like that through lots of hard work and perseverance, great result! Something very few will ever achieve. Hey, that JW rod wasn't part of that $500 deal on gumtree, was it
