Had to scratch the itch, pulled the boat out of retirement for the year and decided not to hunt again due to warmer weather and it payed off. Action was slow all afternoon until this one. The adrenaline caused me to drop a few F-bombs and I can't seem to get the video to work so these are actually just the still photos from the 45 second video of me pulling it from the net, measuring, and releasing the fish. Ended up being 48.5inches, a new personal best.
