A friend & I probably caught the same big fish about 2 weeks apart in the same drift. I never knew how much it weighed but think it was my 1st 20 pounder at about 39". The big buck had a cool greenish tint with a red stripe to it & was a little darker when he caught it. That was a sweet day as I caught another slab that day too. I'll try to post the pix of those brutes soon.
