FishChris, thanks for sharing it with us :) :) :)

d**n FC I am sooo jealous I cant stand it. I seriously want to stop making baits and get back to fishing! Your killing me.

Congrats on an absolute monster!

but like I always say, if you fish a lot, specifically targeting big fish, in places that have a good number of big fish, you can't help but catch a big one every now and again :-)

Peace,

Fish

PS, Hey Matt, I feel your pain. I wish I had more time for photography.... and also, I always wished I could have gotten into scuba diving, and underwater photography..... but theirs just not enough time in a lifetime..... Especially for guys like us that want to go all out with whatever we choose to do.

Nice whale!!!!

No doubt about it Fish Chris, you are THE MAN!  Great fish, Congrats.  ;D

Fish,

AWESOME!

I can't put it any other way!
