Been trying to get one since 1982, but every time I hooked one it got loose at the bank. Finally got this one yesterday, and the best part is that Grace got to see it.

Thats that old bastard DT that coined that phrase.  Old folks say the darndest things...     Nice job Pyro.  SInce 82 is a long time.  I'd call that fish your nemesis.  Must have felt great to catch it!

@Doc, I'd ABSOLUTELY call this species my nemesis. There are no words to even scratch the surface on the feeling. I started trying to catch one when I was 4. I'll be 39 in a couple weeks. Nemesis might be an understatement.
