I fizzed the fish at 8:30 this morning and she was left in the minnow tank to re-coop in the cool oxygenated water. At noon she was swimming around full of life and released back into the lake. She was so full of energy she was throwing water all over the floor in the store.
What a beast and congrats to the angler. great fish !!!! congrats to the angler

Is that discolored patch behind her eye scarring? It looks like water with bubbles in it to me. Maybe you're right on fourth look. Foamy bubbles from the minnow tank? Probably! That's what I was guessin. . .

Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.

Thanks everyone. It was a great fight. But to answer the questions I had fish grips with me that is connected with a bungle cord. I went to release here and she went belly up. So peddled my Hobie Pro Angler to the boat ramp and got out of my yak and spent the next ten minutes working her. She started to show signs of life again and was starting to fight so I released her. She made it a couple of feet and went belly up again so at that point hooker her back up and went straight for to the Bucket. My farther went ahead of me see I had to keep my hand on here to keep her up right and her mouth open. Once my father made it to the ramp he was able to get a boat that was just leaving to head over my way. I was only 200 feet away but gave them the fish to get her there as fast as possible. I have said it to Tony over and over again But thank you for everything you did to keep her alive. My only disappointment was that I never really got to take a good picture of here while I was in my yak. When we released her I got in my kayak and had my farther take some pictures but he didnt know how to use my camera so he never tuck any. But she was 27" long and girth was 22 1/2" But I spent most of my morning today emailing and talking your Matt Williams. A journalist for Texas Outdoors Journal so will have to see where this leads. But man I just wished I let the big old girl eat lunch before I set that hook lol.
