Stevo,

Not only an epic fish, but you got it in an area thats not usually much of a SB spot. Congrats!

Wado,

If I would'a called you it would be to remind you that you haven't caught a decent fish all year.

It is kind'a strangely exciting though...

Dam did you get your hook back ? Looks like it was way deep.

My avatar is from the same area. 25# Black Sea Bass that was let go. That's a nice fish and it's great that you let it go. Very cool.

Hooks came out easy. Main 1/0 was right in the corner of her mouth, the trap had snagged her right behind her pectoral fin.

When I first saw the bass shape, I thought I had a small black, but then freaked out a little when I figured out it was a sandbass.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. I am convinced that 90% of my best fish are dumb luck; I just feel lucky to have caught her.

I wish I had taken a few more pics for size reference. I have the tape shots but I wish I could have got a pic of me holding her just for my own sake. Either way, that was a great early Christmas present for me
