What a lucky day I had catching this 5 pounder. I stayed at the lake much longer than I would have due to a scouting group taking over the area for canoe and kayak ...more testing. The reward for staying put was this beast. Look at the belly on this thing. It was quite a handful trying to hold it with one hand and shoot the photo with the other. By the time I caught it there was no one to help take a photo.
