Don't you just love the joyful expression on the guy's face. If I died after landing a fish like that it would take them a week to get the grin off my face. I will bet that fish fought like a fresh water permit. I would like to know the details of his tackle, line, etc.

A friend was recently telling me about a nephew who lives in AZ and wants to be a pro bass fisherman. The nephew told my friend about this fish and said a species of shellfish had been introduced into Lake Havazu and resulted in a good number of these huge redears or as we call them shellcrackers. A similar situation in SC resulted in the previous world record there.
