1:56
I'm not going to keep this one. Good hook set. Right in the nose
2:01
That's where you want it. Right in the top of the mouth there
2:11
It's kind of deep here so I have to be careful. I don't want to fall in. That would be embarrassing. Okay
2:16
Oh that's actually a good sized female. She was a little cleaner
2:23
Not bad. Oh and there she goes. Ha
2:34
This guy was in the fresh stuff there. Right at the point
