mgj Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Went out Sunday and caught a few kings on fly as well as some monumental bustoffs in bad country. Then I landed this on fly-with St Peter's thumbprint! A first for me and it was delicious and fed 3 people. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
