I estimate between 5-6 . And after a couple of quick pics I held her in the water and she swam out of my hand .

Outstanding catch and release on the light line...5-6 pounder?

Thanks guys , and yes I caught her on my Diawa Procyon 7' UL rod/ Shimano Sahara 500 reel spooled with 4# Silver Thread . I know the line looks big in the picture, but it was close to the iPhone that made it look bigger . It's really small diameter line that gives me long cast with 7' rod .
Bait was a 1/80th oz micro jig tied in black woolybooger style .the size12 hook was right in the center of the roof of her mouth . That saved me from getting cut off with her teeth . Took about ten minutes to land , she jumped two times after jumping when I set the hook into her . My personal best landed on 4# line . I've had larger ones on , but something always happened before . Everything worked today .
