With all that tail thumpin' acrobatics, bet when you ripped the gills the blood was a-flowin'...good job.

Sure seemed like you were a bit happy getting him...
I have to honest, I was nervous when I was about to gaff the fish. I usually fish with my eXtreme, but yesterday, I decided to take the prowler out because it's easier to paddle and I'm not as tired after the trip. I'm still not comfortable with the prowler because it's less stable and I wasn't confident with the gaff. And the fish looked huge in the water.

Yes, the gaff came out when the fish was on deck.
