Finally got the pictures back of our encounter with the elusive GC. I wish I had a better picture of the shore landing attempt but the other son, Aaron was holding the camera and giggling like a little girl while his brother tried pulling him out of the water. Before he could regain his composure the GC had broken off and went back to his home.
Keep in mind that these boys are twin brothers and starting senior linemen on their HS football team but you'd have thought it was the first fish they'd ever seen; it was so funny watching them, never mind me trying to keep the GC from breaking off.
I measured the brace beneath Austin's feet for reference and it's 27". The GC was about 30" I'm guessing. Note the regulation GC gloves :-)
The GC was doing a "death roll" and I think the boys were mesmerized.

Here's one of the GC taking off into the sunset after Austin layed a hand on it. Can you say Ziiiiiiiiing?

Thanks again to the fish and the boys for a day I'll never forget.
