This Miracle Baby ate a pitched Rage Hawg and had an excessive amount of bleeding from a tongue hook. I used Flip-Clips and expedited livewell procedures for over an hour with my buddy Alex helping to switch the water out of the wells regularly to keep her frisky. She not only lived, but thrashed me with her tail and water when she left :respect-059: I stayed close to her area while she was regaining her health to make sure that the release was close to her home. I LOVE these Big Girls ;)

A 3/4oz Tour Grade tungsten, Moaner Stick'r hook and a St Croix RAGE Rod brought her to the boat...

Nice!! < note to self, get Flip Clips
I was told that when I set the hook, I'd better have a bass or  it's lips attached.

It definately shows too just by the care you gave that ol' girl !!!

Nice job Big-O !!!
Fishing is my idea of a good lip piercing!

I have also found that when it comes to friends, a good friend will come and bail you out of jail, but best friends will be right there beside you saying d**n that was fun !!!

Steve strikes again! Great fish buddy. That weather in the background doesn't look too pleasant, but when you're catching fish like that, who the hell cares!

It is my opinion that when we release big fish immediately and even the young healthy fish in their home environments, their chances are substantially improved and not just for survival but also for better growth opportunuty. I think this is especially true for the ones that are weak from a fight in warm waters or possibly injured Posted Image The fact that they're in home surroundings and can locate their safe zone and or food table quickly for recuperation is much better for them and less stressful, I'm sure! Posted Image

One day in the future, all will see THIS as the proper MANAGEMENT PRACTICE and all of our fisheries will be abounding with more Giant fish to catch... and release!

Dwight, there's always company on these Texas lakes and I normally leave before others can tune in. Hanging around for a sick fish will draw FLIES now and then... if you know what I mean!

SFBA, you're right about the weather threatening and would've left earlier but she needed the extra time! I photo'd her after the hour of re-hab and streaked back down the lake before the winds got too bad.. It all worked out ;)
