Default The bog one that got away

I lost the biggest trout I have ever seen today.
Fishing the causeway with my family I left my fishing rod secured.
I was fishing the pilings with my daughters little egg beater bass pro combo strung with spider wire(no not power pro).
I had a nice 22-23 inch trout on the line when she spit the new penny gulp out at the boat.
Real quick like a dark shadow emerged from under my boat.
I saw the flash of the white mouth and the bait dissappear.
I let her take the whole bait into her mouth before setting the hook.
I didn't even see he rwhole body before she took the lure.
I fought that fish for three min. and two missed nettings.
Several times I had her on her side beside my boat where I have stik on measuring tapes.
My measuring tapes measure 34 inches and this fish was about 3 inches shy of the tape.
When I had her sideways she was about 10 inches wide.
I wish I could have landed her but she finally shook free.
I was upset but my whole family was there to see her sevral times and that fish is all they have been talking about since we got off the water.
