Did a recent google search looking for a clear picture of Bertha. Unfortunately, the only one I found was under copyright and I couldn't lift/post it.

If I'm not mistaken the 3rd mount on Tony's wall is of a 60+ fish (the other 2 are of Bertha) it always amazed how small it looks compared to the 73.

Slipknot,
That's also a great picture at Tony's of you and Bertha. Why don't you post a copy of it.
I was at Tony's this morning and he promised to dig out one of his photos of him with Bertha the day it was caught and email it to me so I could post it here.

Bill I don't have any picture of me and Bertha  I don't ever remember anyone taking a pic of me and that mount. Maybe that was Bassmaster in the picture.
That would be great if he gets out that old picture to post it.  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Sorry, he told me it was you and, since I've never met either of you that I know of, I wouldn't know the difference.

Saw the picture of TS's this years 60 caught on his pink needlefish.
Another nice Big Girl.
Bill, did Tony have that one at the shop? I saw it at my mechanics shop, of all places... I know he works on Tone's buggy too.
