I was actually trying to get some stripers. I was on the way up from about 43ft and on the way up i saw him hanging out in the trees i was next to. I took a quick breath and got on his level to follow him. It didn't take very long to close the distance and he turned to see me lined up on him. Mid body shot and very little struggle.
