Wow! Nicely done Rob.

Very nice Rob, can you tell us how you caught it? Jig? Plastic worm?

Congrats Rob. I did a lot of fishing in Vermont and like you, I’m a catch and release guy. What a beauty! Thank God it wasn’t that big bad alligator on the golf course.

Great looking large mouth! I’ve never caught one that big. We fish for them in fly in lakes in Canada old school style with worms and barbless hooks.

Congrats, well done!
I've never done any fishing but I'd imagine it is quite a challenge to catch a big specimen like that
