Redlite...If you want someone to bait your hook for you, let me know. You need to be fishing, not wasting time catching/hooking eels...

in the interest of heppin' out,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

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!!

A few guys had fish in the high 30s from what I understand, but didn't weigh them in. Since you can only weigh one fish a week, weighing it would have shut you out for good.

Second through fifth get plaques, and we're not likely to even slip out of second. There's no reason to weigh a fish in unless it adds substantially to our score. If you want a pin, measure length and girth, do the math, and submit a form for a released fish pin.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
