Wow what a fish

Hey Guys,

I am the guy in the drift boat and it is my net but I didn't net it. A friend of mine did. I was trying to help him but when I saw the size of the fish I did not want to anchor up and risk getting the fish tied in the anchor. I called a friend who was fishing upstream who ran down and I hurled my boat net to him. I watched the whole thing. It was a size 20 olive. The best part of the story is when he hooked the fish he had no idea how big it was and handed the rod to his four or five year old son who played the fish for about five minutes. The fish was just sitting at the bottom, then it came up and splashed its tail, and everyone knew it was a special fish and he took the rod back. His name is Nick not Mike. I am attaching a picture of the fish on the board. You can see I am holding the board and he has his hand under the fish. We should have flattened it out and it would have measured 28.5-29Attachment 12975 That is my dog Melo and my 16 year old son was there too.

Awesome story. Reminds me of the 30.5" that I never caught but I know is out there. Hope you're around for that one too!
