How long was it?

I took a really quick tape to it in the net as it was resting (i have a pretty big floating basket net) looked like 22" but looking at the picture and remembering how absolutely thick it was, i feel like it had to be longer, but i guess i have to say 22" haha

Hah I bet you thought it was a pike at first.

water was so clear and shin/knee deep so i saw it clear as day as seconds after it hit and started rolling on the surface. I knew what it was but i wasn't expecting it to NEVER SURRENDER! This fish had to have been living in the wild for a while imo, just based on the fins, color, and fight it put up.

4-5 minutes of intensity and then as soon as i took the picture and put it back it thumped my hand away and took off disappeared! didn't even need to be revived! I couldn't believe the stamina! I'm pretty sure this fish has defeated a few anglers in it's day. by the time i finally got the net under it, she was already unhooked, that's how close it was! Good luck to the next guy that hooks this beast. She's tough, but be careful with her
