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...
