This guy was my catch of the day, he also had one himself. Unfortunately, I think his eyes were bigger than his mouth. :lol:

Not sure if this is a look of horror in realization of the fish being too big, or just a "hey what are you looking at pose"

Posted a video of this fella fishing. Video was right before he caught this big one, of course I stopped it right before hand. The quality is not as good as the original because I had to cut it down in order to post it on flickr. Just click my signature to go watch it

Hope you enjoy!

Some great stuff there! That first shot shows a pretty impressive grip strength, relative to the body weight...
