Sorry you lost that fish.  But she is still out there!

Congrats!! As far as things go you said you were going to take a pic and  then play catch and release. Your job was made easier by a few steps.

Best of all..and you made it happen,she will produce thousands of eggs and more bass. That night will stay in your mind for a long time,I'm sure.
