I've been chasing this bass for 3 years now. Managed to hook up with her a couple of times, but she always won. Last Thursday I finally got her into the livewell.
A quick ride in the livewell to the lodge, a couple of pictures and she was released in the same spot she came from, healthy and a little wiser. :D

Thanks for the comments guys!
Beachburger-
In the rush to get back to the dock, weigh her and return her to her home as stress free and as quickly as possible, I never took the time to take any measurements.
I guess I'll have to wait until the next time. :D

Just one question, You said you had been pursuing this particular fish for three seasons.
You must have had some kind of GPS tracking device on that fish then? :wink: :lol: :lol:
