Awesome fish! He looks as long as your boat is wide.

So just how loud was the celebrating when you got it in the boat?
If I shot one like that I would be whoopin' and a hollerin'.

Congrats!

Dang Bill, that's an awesome fish. Did he fight hard?

Good luck with school!

yeah he was huge. we were screaming a whole lot when i got him in. when i shot was not sure what it was , thought it was a big buff. didn't look nearly as big in the water as he really was. but i shot and my arrow came out of the water and started to cruise, so i yelled, "hold on i got a big one." he drug the boat for a bit when i noticed my arrow was starting to come out so my dad shot him in the spine and finished him off. but thanks for all the support.

Any chance someone can send that to my e-mail via a jpeg?

My lovely computer won't open those photobucket thing-a-ma-bobs.

My e-mail is michael.steffa@mcleancountyil.gov

Much Thanks,
Mikey
