I don't believe it ;D.

Awesome fish.

Welcome!!!!

You are a bad man.

This is easy. It is better to have caught and lost than to have never caught at all.

Needs to start eating twinkies for breakfast.

Sorry, Fluke was making his last post the same time as mine. I'll take back the gas guzzling part if it indeed gets 16-18. However, IMO its still ugly.

Wow........160,000. I'm sure a ton of people are going to think I'm crazy, but that a lot for an ugly, gas guzzling truck.

That had to be a lot of fun.

You did the right thing. What you did gave the fish its only chance of living.

Welcome .

Welcome back. I'm glad I saw this first. We've all missed you man.

The world record is worth a lot of money so i'd be keeping it for sure. I would donate it to the Sharelunker program though if it was in season and have it released into the aquarium at Cabela's. I would probably make the 30 minute trip to look at her a lot.

I think its a little bigger than everyone else. I'll say 9lbs 5oz

Nice fish. Sounds like you are pretty excited about it. Weight really is important when you enjoy it as much as it seems you did.

I'm sorry I missed that you were new. Welcome to the forums, and good luck with whatever boat you end up with.

13 hrs for a 2,000 grand boat is a long ways. Even if the boat is worth considerably more than 2,000, which I have no idea if it is, I would have to have an outside source tell me that it was in average shape or better to drive 13hrs on the chance I might like it. Maybe you should call some mechanics in his area and see what they would charge to look at it. Probably will cost you a couple of hundrerd, but could save a long drive for nothing.

All I got to do yesterday was pick up the boat. Wish I could of got out, but oh well.

Fivepound, nice fish. I love the pics they remind me of Mr. Wilson from Home Improvement. Congratulations on all the weight loss as well. Exactly how much weight have you lost?

Thats was the reason, Flech . What do you know about the folks at Broxton's? They seem real nice so far.

Can't wait to see the picture.

LOL........I was thinking the exact same thing. Very nice place.

Had to be at least 10 lbs right? ;D

I'll get some more when I get her home. Didn't want to go overboard with just the cell phone camera. Picking her up tommorow.

Good for her. Ouch for you. Sometimes I'm glad my wife doesn't fish.
