Jacob, I see that your pic post has created a little heat. My post comes in a 2 parter. yes it is a nice slab..But..I was shocked to see the first picture in this thread was a nate laying on the ground out of water for C and R maybe next time you could carry that cam in a breast pocket and take the water shot , and if you were so cocerned about all you had to do while that nate would still be in the water then think of the same events while it layed there on the bank. Great Fish..Poor Pic

Threads like these are what makes these boards get worse and worse. 3 or 4 assholes get on there perch and tell a guy, who may have just got a little excited, that he shouldn't have taken a picture of his first 20lber or weighed it or measured it. But if he posted on here that he caught what he though to be damn near a 20lb fish, everyone would call bull****. These fish aren't made of porcelin. He might as well posted this pic on a P.E.T.A. website. By the way nice fish.

I didn't even finish reading the rest of the posts in this thread.... I've seen enough..... And all I have to say on the topic is "My God, you guys are a bunch of PR!CKS." Here a guy takes a fish out of the water a little too long, and you're all acting like he just admitted to being a Child Molestor or something.... JacobF, Dont sweat the fish, it probably wont die and if it does...... Oh well. You didn't quite do everything by the book, but ya live and ya learn, so it's not that big a deal. Hell, a lot of guys would've bonked that fish, and you did the right thing by letting it go. To Hell with the Naysayers.

For what it's worth, I didn't "drag" it on the beach. When it was in around a foot of water, I carefull tailed it with my right hand and put my left hand under it and carefully lifted it out. I then gently laid it on the beach. It didn't struggle, it didn't flop around, it's whole body weight was supported. I didn't have to "fumble" for my camera or anything, it's easy to get to, I just had to take my vest off. I didn't even bother to take the time to wipe the sand off it. As soon as I put it back in the water, it swam off with no revival time at all. There were no scales or blood anywhere.
