storm fishing /new PB
 

Weather was deteriorating and it was getting cold with the wind blowing about 30 early this morning, the fish were still close enough to reach. I ended up with only two fish, both keepers. One fish was 29" and then my personal best for the year (so far) took my eel and gave me a memorable battle. The fish was healthy and fat. Happy to be warm and dry now.

Nice job

Congrat. Bob, looks like xmas came early and noel gave you the cow.

Congrats.

BOB

Great >.you earned that one <><<

Nice,,, If I was there I would be fishing it too,,,,,,, Never know with at storm how things will play out,,,,,

Nice, Bob! You have always scored in snotty weather late in the season! We had high hopes this AM, but doc and I got elskunko.....

Congrats

Excellent bob, good late season fish. :kewl:

Good job; I got dunked early last night and had to retire early. Mike and I knew there were fish somewhere, but I was too wet and cold to search for them...

Congrats on your PB Any idea on the weight?

nice fish!

Good for you Bob

No scale available, my best guess was 30 -35 pounds. I wish my 52" fish had been built like her.

thanks to all for the kudos

Good job, got my pb this year to

I know how you fish and I know you worked hard for it!! Congrats!!

Congrats Bob!

Excellent fish, redcrbbr!

Why not use the formula for weight when you already know the length and the girth? The good folks at OTW use the following formula to determine the weight for their C&R pounder pins:

girth x girth x length/800 = pounds

Sooooo, for your beauty:

23 x 23 x 43/800 = 28.433 lbs!!!

Nice PB, and keep up the good work it's still early, gents!!

niiiccccee......
