Normally I would say that boat fish don't count but..... that fish counts, especially because of the light line and even more so because you set her free. Impressive! eel?

Congrats, that's an awesome fish! Kudos for the release, as well!

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Beautiful Fish Rockfish!!

My guess was 50-53.... that would be #14...it was a long fight on 15# line, my scale was burried in a locker, the camera was pre set and poised on the dash, and i keep a tape handy there as well, it was more important to me to see her swim free rather than to see her float belly up...
