Wow....looks like coach really worked that fish over. What'd it do....miss a blocking assignment?

[rango]

no,, them blues get all blood shot when they throwed in a cooler and i think it was laying on the ground before this photo was made and had some grit sticking to it.. he looks rough here, but it was a pretty thing when it was first caught

That anal fin behind coach's right hand , if it weren't bent under would be as straight as an arrow and the channels have a rounded anal fin.The number of spines tells too , but I'm not sure of the numbers....E.
