Finally
 

After weeks of harrassing the schoolies it was nice to see a keeper. 29 wonderful inches :love: , they will only get bigger from here. Life seems so much better tonight :uhuh:

Good to hear Jim.:kewl:

Excellent.

Nothing big yet for me.

Went this evening.Had about 1/2hr to kill and I got several small guys.The biguns'll be here soon enough.

I got my first fish of the season this evening... took a while :af:

nice job :claps:

got this one 2 weeks ago on one of my darters :smokin: 22 pounds :boots:

Eben - Mine was about 21.5 lbs smaller (maybe more). I'm just happy I avoided the skunk thats been following me around for the past couple of weeks.

Cheferson - It was nice catching-up with ya. Thanks for the tips and the teaser.

No problem Roseneath, thought you were gonna leave with the skunk there for a bit. Congrats on the 1st fish.

:shocked: :shocked: WOW...based on those numbers, the fish are definately going to be bigger this year. Nice ... gotta remember how to wet a line. :read:

22.0lb-21.5lb=0.5lb (rat) is what I think he meant, not a 21.5 lb fish at 29"

nice catch.... :)

i must have patience... i have not yet broken the seal.. still have willpower to stay away...

cod first striper second... must keep telling myself...

Gotcha toonic, :tm: ....I re-read it...... :huh: Here I was hoping for bigger class fish this year...tired of those 40" 20#ers... :confused:

Attaboy Biteme :kewl:

Nice work Bite me. Hopefully get the first large tomorrow. :bl:

keeper on darters
 

Eben,
How did you get the hook out of the little guys mouth without hurting him? Just kidding he is getting big going by the first time you posted his picture.

Eben's definitely looks like a Fish Story to me, that baby doesn't look an ounce over 18# :bl:

22 on my boga :rtfm:

Key word "baby" :smash:

gotcha :bl:

:rotfl: baby is 16.5 on the boga :rtfm:
