This "honor" was bestowed upon me after I finished DOTY 2012 with a mini 8 inch Verm.

In 2013 Abman was the small fish "champion" with this "Smallive"

In 2014 LiveAlohaKris was in the "lead" with this cute little copper:

On Saturday I was on a hunt for my first copper of 2014....found this guy...he looked bigger underwater is all I can say...I'm the new front runner!

I know right!

 :smt005

However...I saw a copper on Saturday that was MUCH smaller than the little guy I had already shot...restrained myself from popping him.  :smt002

Valentina ate the heck out of it yesterday though and it was red enough to qualify as a "magic red fish" for her and made her day.
