My brother and I were fishing off our dock last week and I got this amazing fish on my first cast. Usually we only catch small fish so close to the shore. My biggest catch to date---it was so exciting!
My brother never keeps his although a lot of the ones he catches probably aren't big enough to keep anyway. Have to be pretty big when they are muskies and northerns. He does CPR-Catch, Photograph and Release.
Go you! And great page to document the rather large catch! I love the little wooden fish about to 'slip through the noose' to use a rather mixed metaphor!!!
