And today was mine! I have been out of town working for the past couple of days and thought i wasn't going to fish this weekend. But, i had my brother meet me at one of his "holes" at daylight today so we could fish. Three hours and not one bite! I told him to let me take him to one of my spots and show him how to fish. So we went and absolutely "killed em"! Total of 25 fish combined and this beauty that i caught! She was just under 24 1/2" and weighed in at 7lbs 1oz. We tried to do our best with the pics. Keep in mind i am 6' 2" and 256lbs.

The fish was released after the pics(taken at the boat ramp because i forgot the camera in the truck). I don't ever keep fish of any kind.

Nice fish DW, glad you had a chance to get out.

    Great fish!!!!!!!!!!!!  Hope you catch many more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot guys! She broke about 8" off my Powell 704C but that was my fault for leaving the flippin' stick at home!  

Great fish!  I bet she was a beast just before the spawn.

Man, that is exactly what my bro said when i landed it! How much weight do they lose after spawning(about)?

Congratulations!
