Congratulations, those are some excellent looking fish, and some really great numbers.

It's a good thing you missed that big fish with the net. If a DFG warden saw you net it you'd get a big fine.

Were those your goods the bruin was decimating?
People, that's why you aren't supposed to keep food in your tent.

I'm sorry, it just sounded like the line had snapped BEFORE the fish was in the net.

You cannot net a fish if it isn't on the hook and line, even if you fought it for 24 hours. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Well, that sucks you lost a monster, but it happens. But in the end, looks like you guys had a great time.
