I CAUGHT A HUGE FISH TODAY IN GLOUCESTER!!!

I just caught a HUGE fish in Gloucester. I was out on the rocks, and was casting using this cheap lure I bought at a show last year. Well, on one of my last casts, I felt this huge BAM, and this fish took out about 60 yards worth of line. To make a long story short, I ended up reeling this monster in, and it was DEAD BIG TIME!!! LOTS OF BLOOD EVERYWHERE.

I didn't know what it was, so I brought it home, where it is sitting in my fridge. If I take pics, can someone help me figure out what it is? How do I post pics on the internet?

Sounds like a Texas Mudshark to me. Very rare in these parts. Feed mostly on six-alarm chilli and Lonestars.

Blood in it is a very bad sign, tho

He might be right. If he was anywhere near the those little bouys, it could have been Michael Jackson. He was late for the trial, and seemed weak or injured. What did the cheap lure resemble?
