    Thats a nice fish!!! Like GregH said, I still prefer deer. Now Bass fishing, thats something I may consider missing some stand time for. Maybe anyways. If the season was going like mine has been.

    I love fishing for big cat's too. I'm gonna guess him in the 70-75 pound range. Congrats man, I can taste that belly meat just looking at him.

    i will say that deer meat last's longer and makes better jerky but on the other hand its great to go relax out on the water and have an opportunity to catch several big cats like this one

    and the official certified weight of this big blue was 72.2lbs

    That's a great looking fish

    Did you catch him on a spinner or bait?
