I was fishing today for BG using a piece of Gulp earthworm on a 1/32 oz jig on a ultralight Ugly Stik. I got a bite that at first thought was a LMB until this fish started stripping line. It made at least seven runs maybe more before I got it landed. I was trying to get it in and then back in the water as fast as possible because I remembered that George says these fish don't survive very well after being caught in warm water. My water temps are in the 80's. I got him back in the water but about ten minutes later he was floating belly up. After retrieving him I decided I would get my camera and take a couple pictures. This HSB was stocked in 2007 at 4-5" in length.
