As El Coyote stated I don't have many expressions. But I can tell you I was super excited even though it doesn't appear that way. This was my first ever trip to Inks, it was a small tourney of about 18 boats "Blue Line Bass Club".
We had one fish at about 150 pm which weighed maybe a pound and a half, we had done everything I knew to catch fish. I told my partner lets move over to a deeper row of docks which were in 7 to 9 feet of water. At 2pm I flipped a Grande Bass Blue Fleck Rattlesnake 8" by a sailboat and caught about a four pounder. Boated that one and we said we would make on more pass and I flipped by a concrete walkway with a concrete piling. The bite was light on the four pounder and was the same for this fish. The worm just stopped and never hit the bottom. I set the hook and she doubled me over and headed for deep water, I could feel her head shaking but I did not know how big she was until she came up and attempted to jump which was a roll. She dove two more times under the boat, I was able to turn her and in the the net she went.
We had a total of three fish for a little over 18 pounds which got us first place and off course BB.
She was certified as a the lake record, pics taken and then she was released back into Inks Lake where she swam of strong. If you go to "Peace Keeper Fishing" on Facebook and friend of mine has a short video of her, Just skip for till about 1:30 mark and let it play.
I have been lucky to have 6 double digit fish in my life, blessed by the man upstairs.

I have been lucky to have 6 double digit fish in my life, blessed by the man upstairs. There it is. I would have made up something about how your partner actually caught it but he's camera shy because he's really ugly (which is in fact true, at least the ugly part is) so he had you pose with the fish. I'm glad you posted your story. Congrats again, bro!
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.
