decided to head on down to the everglades and fish some of the canals and within 15 minutes of getting there i landed this . Unfortunately i didnt put my lipper in my book bag so i wasnt able to weigh it. I was hoping some of you guys could give me a weight estimation. The pic was taken with a camera phone and beleive me it does the fish no justice

Dude!!! Nice fish and quick too.  Looks like your in the swamp for sure!!!  

heres another pic.

I'm a lefty too.  ;D

im actually right handed i jsut use the left hand version because i like holding the rod with my strong hand and cranking with my weaker hand.  ;D

Great work nice looking fish.

Nice job!!! I'd say around 6.5-7lbs, it looks a lot bigger in the second pic than the first. What did you catch him on?

i caught him on a 1/8 oz chartreuse booyah pond magic.

Very nice 5-6 lb(?) Everglades canal Bass young man!  I caught a nice one30 years ago out of the Tamiami Trail canal.
