Awesome fish Todd! Great job finding and catching her, and especially on the release!

If I may ask, how deep was she? Most of our bigger fish have been in less than 10' of water. Many in less than 2'!

Now I really wish I'd been out fishin' last weekend instead of working.

Nice fish Todd!! Only problem is I'm getting a headache trying to figure out where you were, based on the background in the picture!! I've got a fellow IDO'er coming down to try Pool 14 with me the next couple days. A couple fatties like that, would sure make for a good trip! You guy's have got my hopes up!!!

Very nice fish Todd! I do thank you for letting her grow . The bite has been a little spotty for me the last few evenings. You are giving me hope that some of the big girls did avoid the commercial nets. I am heading to Pool 4 Saturday for vacation so I won't see you out there. Good luck !

I knew it, with the water clarity still so up and down,(mostly down) I think the shallow draggin bite is just gonna get better. Did you happen to get any measurements on her girth? That girl had some shoulders!
