Absolutely beautiful fish! I've seen a few longer than that, but never close to that thick. Unbelieveable fish of a lifetime

Oh, and a pat on the back for the release. I woulda thought twice about releasing a fish that beautiful. You're a stronger man than me!

Wow, fish of the year that I've seen here in '09. Congrats and nice release!

Thanks for all the great comments gentlemen.

What can one say to that except congratulations! I know you said she'll probably be the biggest, but here't to hoping she isn't!

Not necesarily... Once a fish is past its prime they actually lose some weight the following years, followed by belly up! Best bet would be to get lucky enough to find her on a bed next spring!! OINK!!

You never know. She could also have 'mutated' genes that make her a super fish. You never know.
