AS OF THIS MORNING... OUR LONGEST FISH EVER

This one is just shy of 50 inches!!!

Monster Truck and I weren't sure if we were going out this morning. I woke up just after 4:30 am and checked with my son. I told him, if you want to go, I'll head out... if not, I'll head back to bed. Well, he got up and we got ready. Soon, we were on the water.

The first fish of the morning was big. Monster Truck pulled it up, and when we saw it, he said, "I want to try, but we need to get this one, so it's best if you grab it." He was right, having me try to grab it would provide the best potential for success, and we can get more than a meal out of a fish this size. He handed me the line and we switched... Soon, I head the beast in the kayak.

It wasn't until we returned home and measured and weighed it that we realized it was our longest fish ever, coming in at about 49 3/4 inches. It also weighed ten pounds, which it only the second double-digit gar we caught. Our heaviest was a 12 pounder last week, but it was only 49 inches long, so this one today is out longest ever. Enjoy the photos!
