Not even his mother liked this face!

Look at the face on this monster. He must have had some major facial trauma when he was younger and only reinforces how incredibly tough these fish are here. His lower snout looks like a door stop and the upper like it was from an elephant. How it ate must have been a real interesting event to watch. This 22 inch beast was an old warrior and I hope many little ones made it through with his great survival genes. I caught this one back in 2000 and sure was glad my buddy Jim was along to get a picture. Many of the really big fish here have unique features and it is always great to catch one back and know we had been caught and released.
