I went fishing today and caught this decent female.  She tipped the scales at 4 lb 13 oz.  We've had mostly winter temperatures with a Spring-like day thrown in here and there for good measure.  The water was cold and highly stained.  I caught nothing for the first three hours but eventually the sun broke through the clouds and a mild wind chopped up the surface of the water.  I caught this fish around noon on a Booyah Spinnerbait with a single Colorado blade, and I ended the day with five fish.  I haven't had too many opportunities to wet a line yet this year so it was good to get out.  

nice looking fish!

Could be.  I work in a field where most of the people that do what I do are less than 30 - 35 years of age.  Since I'm 48, I'm the senile1.  

Nice chunk Senile1

Very nice. Great time of year. Glad to hear you got out.

Very nice.  Looks like your patience paid off well.  Sounds like a good day.

Nice way to get '09 rolling.
