R.I.P. Mr. Big

Pat finally caguth Mr. Big, and he did it on Fiona's tiny little Tigger fishing rod.
Pat bought Fiona a Tigger fishing rod for Christmas and told her that they would use it to catch Mr. Big. On Saturday June 2, he did just that! Mr. Big was swimming around chomping away on fish pellets when he took Pat's bait. After a few minutes of wrangling with him, Pat got him close enough to the net that Larry was able to scoop him up out of the water... but Mr. Big was too big for the net and flipped back into the water. Larry then grabbed Mr. Big with both hands and flipped him onto the grass.
Mr. Big's official measurements were 25 1/2 inches long, 4 1/2 lbs.
