Sure was glad to be able to see that brother, no trolls can say anything about catch and release. All the men there, my hats off to them all for the care and help. I was hurting with you working on getting him in the net and on the boat. Got my wife to come over to my computer to watch you land it on the boat. I was feeling for you as my wife said, " he is about your size", but I'm 73 and would not try and land that size boy by myself. I'm in the TX Panhandle and I take my hat off to you for the TN. State Record. It was AMAZING!!!!!
