Thanks Guys......this fish was caught in the same area I caught my personal best back in the 80s...I always enjoy those LP Coppernose photos Jeff....I was very happy Greg, I removed the sunglasses but I'll work on the smile now....

Very nice 'Gill Jeff!  Yeah once in a while someone will catch a big dark male like that from our Southern California lake, and my local fish in' hole, Lake Perris

I bow in your direction, Jeff.

Thanks Walt....somebody might catch him again over the weekend but if I'm lucky it'll be a kid out fishing with his mom on Mother's Day Sunday........I don't like to put a filet knife to these old men anyway.....Business is definitely picking up....

Great bull, Jeff!  Awesome job on the release!

Thanks Dick....I had a great time.... With the brutal Summer not quite here yet.....It was warm but not humid so all in all it was a good afternoon and a bonus that we found some Bulls!
