Sweet catch brotha! Somedays I wish I had a boat. But that means I'd need a new rig, a garage, and a loan. And gas money. Hahahaha,I'm a little bit jealous, but it'll pass. My day will come soon enough.

Nice fish Nate. I wished I took a picture of mines when it was under water in the net. It was a first and personal best for all species.
