We hate to say we just saw the catch of the year in early May when the season ends in October but sometimes we can’t help ourselves.

We will have to put together a montage of the best catches we see each month so we can determine the best catch of the year. This one has a real chance to stand alone by season’s end, though. An incredible grab from Michael A. Taylor.
