Dan's New Personal Best Largemouth....5/23/2015

We were fishing jigs under a float catching quality gills when Dan was met with resistance on hook set....she came completely out of the water and our hearts raced knowing she was on a small Morgan Electric Chicken jig....but it held up and after several trips around the boat we got a net on her........this fish made his trip!
