Another dark water giant! Well done!

Thanks Tony.....my cameras were both fogging up with the heavy rains....I didn't try to weigh him but he felt a little better than the two 1 pound 5 ounce fish I caught in May.....he was lip hooked and blasted off upon release...I hope he stays in the oxbow I caught him in....I might see him again if he does......a favorite little spot of mine....fish was crazy dark and tall too....camera flashed for this shot.....

Good lookin' fish J.........

My line popped as this fish entered my landing net......I had just caught a two pound bass and this gill out fought that bass hands down......I went around the boat several times before I could get him netted.......lots of fun in drizzle and a few downpours.....
