My buddy Justin Carrol with an absolute beast of a calico bass. Justin landed this fish this past Saturday fishing a brown plastic bait in the boilers off our local islands. She went just shy of nine pounds. WTG brother, you are in an elite club, very proud of ya. Photo courtesy of Justin Reynolds/Radio Silence Fishing

Thank you my friend. I credit Capt. Justin Reynolds at Radio Silence Fishing for putting me on the fish and snapping that epic pic.
