Thanks guys. Congrats to your son on a new PB, Hooked!
This one didn't jump at all and we were in less than 5' of water. I actually though he had a nice chain pickerel, then it surfaced at the boat and ran a couple more times. He handled it well for a boy his age.
I wish we had weighed it. I looked up some charts and most say 5 lbs starts around 20" for Largemouth. I thought it was less than 4 but maybe close to 4. The charts also say it was likely 12 years old or more, but age/size varies a lot based on food and up in NH they grow slow with the winters. Maybe it was even older.
He was right to let it go after having lived that long.
