That's a pig! Where did she come from?

Nice fish!! Glad to hear you released her. No matter what anyone thinks, those fish are RARE!! Now, someone else at least has a chance to catch her again.

Thanks everyone...Really felt good to land her then turn her back down the hole..Hopefully this spring she will produce a few more..I feel that we are all obligated to practice catch and release...
