Karoline's Biggest Fish - So Far!

Karoline and I went out on Watts Bar for a quick check on the upper end of Long Island tonight.  We got bait in the Center Farm cove – all good sized (5” – 7”) gizzard shad.  Karoline caught several blue cats and rockfish.  One fish in particular (the one shown in the picture) was the biggest fish Karoline has ever caught - just look at that smile.  She cast and fought this 9 lb rockfish all by herself!  She was absolutely thrilled. This will go into the memory banks forever!  Thank you Lord that I got to share it with her - what a precious gift she is!
