Little miss Piggy
Fish was 48" long with a 29" girth and went 44lbs. She fought like a champ and took a 6oz Butterfly jig.

6 ounce butterfly jig?  is there anything you won't fish with? 
excellant fish Roy, I assume the canal  
44 pounds is an accomplishment to be proud of |

Thanks guys....It's finally starting to set in after talking to many canal guys. I feel like an ass after acting like it's just another 40lber....I didn't realize that the canal had it's certain class of fish & a fish of this size in the canal equals a 50+lb fish from the surf to some, remeber im a 3 month newbie at the ditch. I have always fished the canal, but not like this year...living 5min away I had no choice but to suck it up & explore it and look already setting a trend...lol..I think everyone I saw today had a butterfly jig on..lol I am now greatfull to the fish gods for my fish and asking for a 50 out of the ditch...lol
