And here's the Aaron Reese (right) crew of May 23, shown with our first large black drum of the 2004 season.  Trey Reese, 9 years old (holding up the tail), caught the big fish, which weighed in at 60.5 lb. and 47 inches.
After what seemed to be at least 10 minutes, the big fish finally came up and turned back towards the stern...
Then into the net.

Thank you, Captain...
