Chesterfield beauty

[Tazasorus]

Hey everybody, long time no see. Back fusion healing coming along well. Didnt know how long i could stand sitting in my little boat but had to give it a go. Hit the water around 7, had our first fish on 15 minutes later. Ended up being our biggest. A robust 23 inch, 5lb. 2 oz beauty. My 82 year old dads still got it. Little early, not much activity, only landed 10. Turned loose some nice mid range fish though. Managed to catch one of those black headed seagulls in my long trolling trailer, had to cut line to save the poor bird, by by 7 dollar rapala. Also managed to sink a treble hook a half inch deep at the base of my finger nail. Pulled on with pliers with all my strength and wouldn't come out, thought my old man was going to yack. Finally managed to turn sideways and something gave and it popped out. Thought i was going to have to push it through. Always something to keep it exciting right? Anyway here is a picture of that fish. Hope this finds everyone well and safe. HAPPY FISHING!
