dang right karon...couldn't net that big ole fish...didn't want to gaff him...didn't want to bust my azz on the rocks...couldn't get a good grip on it...when i went to step down on the rocks to release/revive him, i dropped him...this fish was out of the water a little over 5 minutes I'd say...in that last pic, you can see me giving him some help and after a few back n forths...he swam away pretty as you please...

i need one of those boga grip thingys...
