Beautiful!!!And released to fight again , very cool.
thats a fat ***** fish well done thanks for the report.
"On my third cast, I was admiring the scenery while working the worm, and there goes the bobber, disappearing from sight. By the time I got my attention back on fishing, the fish was long gone – drat!"
That happens to me quite often when I'm lake fishing. I sometimes get more strikes when I'm day dreaming than when I'm actively working the lure.
Nice fish by the way.
