5/31/2018 9:07:41 PMWas a tough selfie...my arms weren't long enough to get it all in.
I thought it was a rainbow too, but the 3 locals there kept saying it was definately a silver.
I couldn't care less....either way that fish fought like crazy, it never did give up.
This fish got my respect....regardless of skin color! lol
