Bear Claw caught it the other day in a bo-punk little pond in the back woods of Okiehoma. and put his boot alongside to get an idea how big it is. Said it was a female full of eggs so he put her back to populate the pond. I am envious and jealous as heck!

Nice!
That’s a biggun, no doubt. Good call on throwing her back, in this case.
Congrats! That is a “goodun”!
It’s pretty rare to have a child wearing boots handy.
Small farm ponds are where the biggest lunkers are. Caught one in a Nebraska farm pond similar to that when I was 12ish. Never caught a bigger bass since.
Nice fish!!
Damn nice fish Bear Claw.
