Willard and a Huge Wiper!!!!!!!

[fishinfool]

This wiper was caught on the third cast this morning.
It is one of two for the day.
I took my dad out to see if I could get him a wiper on his fly rod and we where working an area over when this fish hit.I knew it was big really big when the drag started screaming! I told my dad to get his pole in a grab the net.I got it up to the boat and instantly started freaking out by the size and it took another run for the bottom,this time my dad was ready and we got it to the net and the lure fell out of it's mouth!
This fish went in the cooler and I know I should have got right off the water,when we measured it on the boat it was 27 1/2 and I used a guys digital scale and it was 9.0 lbs wieghed it three times to make sure.[:/]
Length 27 1\4 inches
Weight 8lbs 12 oz.
Girth 17 1\2
No state record but the biggest wiper I have ever caught what a thrill! enjoy I did[]
