18 1/2 iches in a private pond in Stamford Connecticut. Dont know the weight because i didnt have a scale, but it was fat. As soon as I resize the picture I will post here.

Then we left there and went to a pond in Fairfield where i almost drowned in mud above my hip. Lucky I had my son with me and a rope in the car

gotta be carefull in those waders vin gets scary in that mud dont it, and btw nice catch 18 and half

Hey Worm, if I email you the photos can you re size for me? I dont have any photo managment programs and I want to post the photo's.

I didnt have any waders on. I'm home right now puting solarcane on my legs that are like hamburger form all the razor grass i had to walk thorough just to get stuck. I was pretty fortunate though I managed to make it out with my shoes on, but I must admit I was pretty stressed by the hole ordeal.

I was walking out on the delta created by the incoming stream to the pond. It didnt get soft slowly, it just gave out all of a sudden. Then wham, there i was up to my hips in chocolate pudding.

gettin' stuck is never any fun man. ive done it countless times in rivers lookin for smallies. as for the pics, if you make a photo bucket account (totally free) you can resize there and they give you links to post the pics right in your thread. real easy  ;D

Thanks for the suggestion IB
