The fish was going to be released once I got it to the boat. It just got released a little sooner than I expected......or wanted.
I'm sure if it had known it was going to have it's photograph taken with ME, it would have docilely came to the boat, had it's photo taken and swam leisurely away.
It probably had visions of SAMBOLIE fighting on the other end of the rod which gave it the extra shot of adrenaline to surge and snap the line. I mean think about it.....having the embarrassment of being caught by SAMBOLIE and possibly having your picture floated around every fishing website on the internet. He'd have been shunned by every striper in the Cumberland River for the rest of it's life!
