Beautiful fish!

I know it is a big lake, but do you ever recognize any of your fish as repeat catches? Just curious. When I used to bass fish a lot as a young man I would occasionally re-catch one with recognizable features. Sometimes in the same spot, sometimes in a completely different part of the lake. I haven't noticed it with panfish since I usually only release the really big ones (which aren't usually even the size of your photo subjects!) or those too small to fillet. I really only get out to fish 2 to 4 times a year these days with all of the other family activities going on.
