Nice fish otherwise... but not a good sign for this fish.
Caught and released :)

Just curious what time you were fishing? I have tried fishing that spot a few times this year, but found the current too strong and the water too high.

Nice fish.

When the water levels are down there are a few nice holes to fish. From the picture it is pretty clear that the water is well up into the woods. I don't foresee wading there anytime soon as it's too dangerous when it's running high.

seeing more fish with health issues and cancerous growths, no surprise though with all the garbage, sewage and pollution we put into our waters
:(
