And that would definitely leave a mark! I miss fishing for gar, the adrenaline rush always lasted well beyond hooking them and dragging them in!

Nice! :thumbup:

(Not the almost getting bit in the face part, of course!)

Best outcome if you weren't going to eat it. Nice catch.

Kudos to the OP for getting that fish back into the water. A lesser man would not have put forth the effort. :thumbup:
