The thing was massive.
Not sure how I feel about it.

Was it a wild one, well proportoined, with nice <ahem> fins? Or was it more like the broodstockers, Big, but in a mishapenly obese way?

I fish for my sanity. If I catch it, should I still practice catch and release?

Easily a 36 incher, double digit. Thought about using my boot as a comparison, but I was afraid to get too close to the monster.
....I must confess. I did not hook and land the beast.
Nor this one.
Life goes on on the river, but sometimes something makes you stop and wonder.

I've seen similar evidence of monsters on the Guadalupe during the tubing season.
I often wonder what the rest of the day was like for them after they have been released?

Hopefully she wasn't wearing it when you hooked into it.

I would have kept and mounted that one. Catch and release ethics be damned!

I must be on a roll. This one isn't as big as my last one, but with more spawning colors.
I think the sequins are a nice touch.
