The picture doesn't do it justice, my brother got a close up but is having problems getting it to me. And yes, no bug rod this time, I just threw a spinning rod in the trunk at the last moment. Doesn't look quite 21 in the picture but a quick measurement on the rod at release said it was.

thats a great lookin fish. shame on you for disgracing that fine fish with a spinning rod though

Yep pictures dont do justice on the small fish...Beautiful fish nonetheless and congrats on your outstanding catch....

It was a big fish. I have a much better photo of it. Only the camera was my mother in-laws and she is gone. Doh! She doesn't erase photos for months though. I will have her boyfriend email it to me. Funny, my dad saw it and said "I caught one that was almost that big, or was that big or even bigger".

gorgeous fish!

Fly or Spinning it was a great fish...Better than nothing at all...
