I was at Mccowen Valley on Lake whitney. I can only assume it was a koi fish. It was between 15 and 20 " long. I spooked it when I got close. Crazy fishing times.

Cast it about 10ft in front of her and watch for those lips. Set the hook and hold on! Catch and release. The dream - to catch one of every species of Freshwater fish in our great state! If only I can resist Carp... https://txmultispecies.imgur.com/
