Caught some doozies yesterday

[RUGER]

I only had 20 minutes to fish but hey, it only takes one fish to make the trip. LOL

Anyway,
I caught 5 like this one in that time. Of course none made the 10" mark but they were thick and fought like crazy on the light rod and 2# test line.
Wish I would have weighed one of them.
I was spreading my fingers as wide as I could on this one.

Nice...did you practice "catch & release" or "catch & into the grease"? I favor the latter.

In this spot they all go back with the exception of once a year I will keep a mess of 6-8" ones
