    Guys, If you make it to end you will see that I mis identified that weight of that fish. Sorry I was caught in the moment and speaking gibberish barely being able to breathe 😂

The conservation 20+ years ago really paid off. You're living the tight line life right now. Way to capitalize on life, Sir!
