the fish are just now starting to spawn around here.  despite yesterday's severe Tstorms and today's 15 mph winds, i got lucky and found this nice fish on a bed.  one of the most aggressive females I've ever run across.  no messin' around for her.  she hit within 15 seconds of the first cast.  she didn't even let the male have a shot at the bait.  got her on a tx rigged bruiser baits avenger.  released quickly after the pic.  kinda bittersweet though.  saw one that made this one look small.  she wasn't ready though.  best believe i'll be checking back on her.

Man that's a healthy looking HAWG real nice colors congrats

Good looking fish!

Pure awesomeness. Paul, that is a pretty fish. Good light and decent lens helps too. You sure do get pretty pics.

Nice one Paul.

What's up Paul? Nice fish!
