I'm used to releasing my fish, but sure wish I had taken a weight and length on this big ol' Rio Grande. I had a good morning at Mcqueeney catching bass and sunfish alternating on "big gear", and ultralight. What a thrilling fight on this feisty Rio Grande... ....FUN STUFF!!!
Merry Christmas!!!!

Side Note: That would easily have beat my Mcqueeney Catch&Release Record and possibly my weight record Rio. Again super fish! thumb
