So I beat my previous personal best today.... Twice.... The first fish was a 6 1/2 lber, and man was I stoked... 3 casts later, I hook a 8 lber..... I was so excited.... It was awesome... Just wanted to share.... I have pics but they are too big to upload... It was an AWESOME day....

edit the pics then post em up!

 

 

great day!

I am trying..... I am struggling to get the pics edited.... But when I do I will post them....

Sounds like a great day!

I right click on it........ then click edit.......... choose stretch/skew........ cut by 50% until you have a decent sized picture.

or you can choose 10% right away.

 

 

I never did either until I wanted to post pics online, I just learned here recently too.

 

I guess my camera produces HUGE files.

If you are using photoshop, choose image/image size, make the longest side 10" and change the resolution to 72. Then do a file/save as .jpg. This makes a good size pic for the web without loosing too much.

Apparently mine does too brian... I will try that now... Thanks guys

Here is the 6 1/2 pounder...

You can always use photobucket  too.

nice fish

Here is the 8 lber.... Man was I a happy camper today....lol

Thanks for the info on the pics everyone... I am glad I was able to share these with you guys... I know the 8 lber looks smaller in the pic, but I swear it wasn't, just a bad pic... She was a hog......

Nice pics man congrats on breaking your PB twice in 1 day!

What did you catch them on?

^{Swim bait}

you should try posting the profile pic you have. That 8 pound pic looks like a 4 pound bass choking on your thumb.

I agree. Not to be an a** or anything but did you weight it with a scale or did you just eyeball it?

Again not being mean just askin.

I don't know I've been looking on this laptop all day watching the Z-man webisodes and that def looks a lot bigger than their 4 lb'ers and any 4 lb'er I caught. Could be my screen vs all of yours. If that's the 8 lb I'd say 6 lb based on my laptop but it also depends on his height/weight (the angler not the fish) and distance from his body as a variable. Regardless if it's 3-4-5lbs and it tops the best fish he has ever had weighed or not good job! Beating our best is what keeps us fishing! We know we will likely never beat the ONE state/lake record but it's like golf. We won't beat Tiger Woods best but if we can beat John Moores' best (thats me) I had a great day! I'm buying myself some of my favorite beer, a big ass porter house and inviting friends over for some pictures and stories.

 

No matter what good job and I believe you (since we aren't in a tournament together :-p) but seriously goood job man. Keep it up and keep using that swim bait (feel free to PM what you used if you dont want to share) haha

Broke my PB today as well.. awesome feeling isn't it?

Nice job, man! Great fish

Great fish man congrats, was it a hard swim baitbor hollow body

Awesome fish, looks like you had a great day.

Congratulations!

My profile pic is actually the 6 1/2 pounder.... I just didn't get a good pic of the big one, both me and my buddy were pretty pumped up, we took 10 pics of the big one but just did not get a good..... You don't catch those fish in WV.... That is a fish of a lifetime in this state....

No I didn't weigh it with a scale... My fishing partner has caught a lot of big fish, quite a few over 10 lbs and he estimated the weight... I am sure this will open a can of worms but I believe she was that big, if no one else does tough.... She was a beast and I caught her... That's all that matters....LOL
