That is one MONSTER fish. I wonder how he got it in the boat by himself? That would have been as challenging (if not more so) then reeling it to the boat.

I think bronze backs may have been his intended target.

Wonder if NC will register him as a junior angler. Be awesome to have the state record as a junior.

At 17 I doubt it. The age for an adult license is 16, but you're right that would be cool.

Ok that makes more sense I read a post on ncangler.com. I thought being alone would be a bit tough.
