Personal Best This Morning

Not huge by internet standards but my biggest so far. 40" and I'm guessing she was 25 + lbs. Very fat. Released her to catch another day.

Zacs - same spot as tuesday morning - great on the outgoing.

Nice fish!

The 40"er I caught last week, also my personal best, ran 20# but yours is much fatter.



Again, congrats on a nice fish!

Tight Lines,
Rob

Thanks evryone -

MountainBreeze - given the fight this one put up - I don't know how you landed that 40"er in a kayak! One good run abeam and I'd think it would roll you.

Zacs - yup - same presentation.

Did you catch the sunrise reflected in her belly? Man it was nice out there this morning. Shut down after the sun came up a bit - Nada! Tried the 9" storm again at both places where it worked on Tues and got nothing.

Next week will have incomiing tide for those pre-work hours - but if you want to give it another go ... I could be talked into some fishing next week...

I feel compelled to add my own best. 41" 22# from the past weekend. This weekend I got the skunk.

B-assman, your fish is FAT!
