I'm not much for smiling when it comes to photos but damn I'd sure look happier than that guy if I caught that fish.

Oh come on, he's a man not a boy and he's handling that fish incorrectly considering it was released. Especially one that large that's full of roe. I would have lipped her like that only lifting her head out and letting the water support the rest of the body weight. The picture of Jed #^&#^&#^&#^&erson is the ideal way, even Mike Longs method is better. I know it's tempting to take large bass off of beds but I stopped doing that when I was quite young. Glad he released her because that's definately one whose gene pool you want to continue. It's been known for near 20 years that one of those deep California resavoirs was going to produce the next world record.
