Sweet! That's a helluva fatty for sure.

Kudos for releasing it and giving someone else a shot at landing it too!  :thumbsup:

So 99 percent of us here "couldn't care a less?" You're making quite an assumption there aren't you Kyle? Why bother being here if 99 percent of us "couldn't care less?" Personally I find your statement offensive and I'm sure I'm not alone.

I could go into many of the fallacies about releasing everything but apparently you already know it all, and I've already done that ad nauseum on here much to the consternation of some. You may be surprised to know some of us here actually have fisheries degrees and even work in the fisheries field so we're not total idiots.   And it may shock you that although we feel catch and release is a viable option it's not the panacea some push it as.

Yeah, doesn't FHW do a good job of making us feel less than worthy??  :-[ :'( He has posted some really nice fish. It's obvious that working hard and perseverance go a long way. Good Job again FHW!  8)
