Default Laker Released movie added

Caught this laker and released her , so she can grow bigger and be caught again at Cold Lake.
So let the guessing begin and I will let you know what she weight in a few days

This should answer the question how big it was.
Fish had to swim around to burp out the air ,after a while she did swim down .

Just click on picture ,and it will start playing .
