It was either the same fish or there was more than one big girl in this area because I hooked a big fish and it threw the hook on a jump...then I cast again and the same thing happened again...and then on the third cast in a row, I finally landed this one.
I guess it's possible that she hit the same damn worm three casts in a row, getting hooked and fighting each time, but either way, I was lucky to get this one in for the scale and the pic!
