landed this fatty last night for a new pb (36" to yellow tape),
42.5"L x 27"G = 38.72#, roughly ~using the formula.
with the +/- factor, she tops my previous 33.5 best
from last year ~~ even if i were to round down to 35#'s,,,,,,
very exciting CATCH, and it feels like i've turned a corner
so to speak, with my ability to PLAY the bigger fish.
on the same BITE there was a 39" fatgurl, C&R,,,,,,,,,,
then a 36"er for the table. 5 casts, 3 eeeeels, 3 stripers!!!
sorry about the funky angles, but i couldn't get her to fit inside
the frame, and i wanted to make a clean release.
doan know why i didn't kill it for the Tourney,
prolly because i didn't feel like it was BIG enuff.
and i truly doan believe in killing our prey, unless
it will impact the Team's totals or the family needs fish.
from what i can figure we need sum 46#'ers and UP!!
so hopefully, tonight will bring me a COW!! GO GET 'EM, MEN!!
