i wasn't expecting it to have any fish at all to be honest, It was my first time there today. my reel max is 12. I have 8, 10, and 20 pound test but im really not sure about putting 20 on a 12 pound max reel

Don't know if it was the same fish but i caught a striped bass that had a tear in his mouth wear i think i hooked that fish. But he didn't look near as big either oh well i guess ill never know for sure.
