Lane has been patiently waiting for a bite.
He mentioned to his cameraman maybe they all bit yesterday.
A few minutes later he loses one.
He was obviously disgusted. It was starting to feel like a painful day, when he set the hook again. After a monumental battle that had the fish circle his boat, almost get in the trolling motor of the camera boat, Lane hauls in what looks like an 8-pounder.
Lane went ballistic with excitement. That should give him about 9 pounds and change. And maybe things are getting ready to bust open.
