A yah, work what is that? It pays to get up early. I rang my fathers bell at 5:30 this AM to show him my trophy. He took some pics for me and when I get a chance or should I say when the wife gets home , I'll get her to try and post a picture. In the meantime I was able to upload a couple shots on SOL http://www.stripersonline.com/ubb547/Forum1/HTML/007645.html
But the shot I like was too large to put up.I'll get it.
I was up at 3:25 and at the ditch by 4, 1st fish - 29" then the trophy. The fish is on ice now and weighed in at 31.5 lbs. and measured 45" and about 43.5" fork. She inhaled a 5 oz Saltheart Smillin bill. I got some more in the 20's and one more short and left after releasing another close to 30 . The last fish was 42" w/ a 26" girth and was measured in the water while it rested on the weeds, I never had to take from the water and released her in good shape.
Thanks everyone for the help and advice given and shared here.
I showed my 7 year old daughter and she was afraid of it
almost as big as her. This one was definately dragging.
Yep Ed, you better get to the ditch soon.
Chris, I got a signed slip from Angler. When John emails his address I will mail it in.
