awesome photo, thanks for sharing! That must be close to 20 pound

28.7lbs! Mad respect for the old guy, so it got freed...

That's awesome, good to release the big guys! They certainly deserve to live and are also good breeders.

All I was doing was letting my bait sit in a flow of water from under the road, just to the left of the flow, the oyster bed to the far left, no visible nibble, just one swift strong pull and it would fight for 20 - 30 seconds...pause, then run again. Not really to the oyster bed tho. It did that like 5 times then I had it at the wall. Magnificent fish for sure. Just didn't feel right to keep it. It had HEART!
