Took about 15 minutes to get him to the side of the boat. We were fishing for sandbass obviously (caught 23). My back has been acting up and I just didn't feel like heaving her in for a photo op like my wife's, so I got the touch and removed the lure for her to go back to her business. Quite a few people were catching them, but I didn't see any huge ones.I have to say I was a bit miffed. The wind made boat control tough (especially in my buddy's pontoon). There were tons of boats out there and some people were driving like jackwagons. One guy in a bass boat weaved through a dozen boats on plane and drove right over this fish and my line, even though we were trying to wave him off. Luckily at that point she was down deeper or he'd have hit her. Other boats could see we were fighting a fish and being courteous. A couple even trolled over to watch. It just amazes me how some others could be so inconsiderate. I don't care if you're on plane, but how about not blasting by within a boat length or two? <img src="/images/smilies/censored.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":censored:" title="Censored    :censored:" data-shortname=":censored:" /><img src="https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i151.photobucket.com_albums_s157_Glocktogo_Spoonbill_zpszmsr357c.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
