Check this out!  It's too bad that where I am there are no stocked canals or lakes :'(  Some gnarly looking fish over here!  I heard that Saddam had stocked some of his palace lakes with LMB also but the low oxygen levels killed them all off after the initial invasion in '03.  (We shoulda sent in some SF teams to secure the palaces and install aerators, hehehe)  Enjoy the link, I know I did...

thank you all.  i like that

Joe those are some awesome pictures.  I wish I knew you could fish there, I could have sent some baits in those packages I shipped you to try over there.

Thanks for the pictures and Thanks for your service to our country.

Great pics BassinSoldier, glad to see some of you guys get a chance to smile a little.

Mine wasn't quite as big as in those pics, but I can still claim that I caught one of Saddam's bass. This was in one of his palace canals.

Crazy!!!

Dam thats awsome.  I never thought that our boys over there could have some enjoyment like fishing.  I'm very glad they are finding something to enjoy themselves

That website is nice, I've been to Balad AB, Iraq, I wish I could have gotten down on this....
