Just got back from weighing it in.....29.7#, 43 1/2 ", 23" girth. Proably was a 30# + when I hooked up 20 hrs ago. Westport river fish took a eel on the first hour of the in coming.
Fish just weren't takin lures in the evening. Switched over to eels once it got dark, and the rest was awsome.
Don't we all love the feeling of putting our hands under a big fishes gill plates! ( ya know he's now yours ) How does the saying go, expect the unexpected! Looking forward to seeing some of your bass pic's........." YOUR DO TWO "
