You have got to be kidding me....
broke me off as i was reaching for his gill plate.... He was hanging dead in the water so i thought the fight was over... I should have beached him as I was only about 10 feet from shore by that point. That was a crazy day, butts airborn all over the place, one almost jumped in my tube.
I would have swore that fish was going to go bigger than 26.5 inches, but it is probably the same one. I also have the image of a yellow lead head going down to the deep in the side of its mouth, but that could be my mind messin with me or the water messing up the color.
