That brings back some good memories, because the last one over 50 I slipped back into the water without the benefit of a picture. About that size maybe a lb or two larger, but I remember it bottoming out my 50lb scale in a heartbeat and it was longer then my old Tracker was wide. I'll never forget the look on the face of a guy that idled over to watch the final minute of the battle, when I weighed it with the help of my friend (hard to weigh one that big) and slipped it back into the water. He was dumb-founded and couldn't believe anyone would do that. I think I converted one to CPR that day.

Great shot, beautiful fish, man I can only hope! I have to say that friend Pete might have just had one like that on this past weekend. I'm fishing hard this coming weekend, stocking up on eels in the next couple days and maybe....just maybe. John your pumped up now aren't you...lol.
