Hey Thanks everyone it was a hoot I'm telling ya!! Was so glad she caught it instead of me!! I think I get more joy out of watching folks pull nice fish out of my pond then me catching them myself! smile And yes she did hold it not for long though and she needed a glove!!

I set the fish on the ground quick so she could grab it and then I took the pic!! It wasn't easy for her but now way was she letting go!!! lol.. We let the fish go and it took right off fairly quick and seemed good to go so I think were ok there. Water was still cool enough for it to be ok I think!

RC - any idea how old that fish is to be 5 lbs? By calculation with standard weight it is around 20-21".

Hey Bill I put those HSB in my pond March of 2012 and they were all 8 to 10 inches then. I did not measure this one but I caught a 4 lbs last year and it was right near 20 inches so I am sure you are right on with you estimate. We will be fishing for them again this weekend and going to clean one and see how they taste. I will get a weight and measurement and mouth gape as well if we catch one.

Nice looking HSB. I put in a few small ones last fall. I hope in a few years, I have something like that. Did you keep it, or just keep catching and releasing? Do they get hook shy? If you do keep them, how do they taste?
