Fly rod caught if there's a division for that.

49 1/2-inches
Girth 26-inches
Scaled that was certified 41-pounds 6-ounces
Chippewa Flowage, Hayward Wisconsin
Dark Chip water of course
Fall fish
Fly double-perch pattern, 12-weight rod, Trion reel, Bass Pro Shop Gold Cup rod
Fish was released so cannot qualify for any record status
Water low Flowage conditions we had
Tippet was 20-pound steel wire

Quiet a battle.
