The fins reminded me of those you see on carp and catfish, whose fins turn leathery when they get big.

Biggun - notice how the fins have thickened and turned opaque....

You and me both Tony....I thought I had one today but that's pure speculation as I didn't get my hands on him....sometimes the big fish are harder to land on smaller terminal tackle that I fish early season.....The biggest fish to come out of the creek I've fished this month are usually Summer fish..I released a fish in 2005 that was just a little over 11 inches but I haven't seen him since........

I can't wait to see you start posting some tens, and bigger! I know it's just around the corner.
