Same fish from MY and season opener Saturday. He moved a ways down river and was scared to death. Moved further down and another about as spooked. I had my chance at MY with my kids and again on the opener choosing to show someone else who lost it at shore. I’m happy just seeing them. Be awesome if they were naturally occurring. Hearing predatory birds and seeing people snag them makes me feel sorry for them. One is an absolute brute. The girl on the far side told me her brother caught him during MY and released him. He was 27” and all the fish in this creek are really hefty so my 6-8 lbs guess is real close I bet. I saw him at a few feet just before the kid Sat lost him. In the pic for scale there’s a girl in her early 20’s I’d say. Shows just how big this fish is. The second one I stumbled on today was low 20’s. Youngest had T-Ball so only an hour to hit the creek and worst time of day.
