Talking

Here you go:
Bull went 45.55 and won first place in the ladies tournament out of the upper keys, Cow went 29.05 and took home 5th. Wahoo went 42. Both the bull and the wahoo were caught by my gf (in the red) on a shimano stella spinning outfit with 20lb. The cow was caught by the girl on the right on a shimano 30. Cow ate a sea witch/hoo combo, bull was sight casted with a naked hoo, wahoo ate an unknown skirt/hoo combo.
