Been fishin steady for about 3 years now & this is the first fish we've landed over 20lbs. This one was 22lbs 371/2 inches. Had to be a female full of eggs as fat as it was. When she hit she ment business, no playin around. I grabbed the pole & just held on til my buddy Harvey got freed up & handed it over to him. I guess I could be more greedy but I like for my guests to catch the first couple fish. We only caught one other 18" dink. We got out around 2 in search of bait & after about an hour was only able to scrap up 1 mongo & one moneymaker & a bunch of ales. Glad we got the mongo because that's what got slammed. Forgot to take a picture with the tape measure to turn in for citation, but oh we'll wanted to hurry & get her back in the water. Oh yeah got to meet topwaterrush, pleasure to meet you sir & again very nice boat.   |

Nice fish,I don't think you need a picture for the citation as long as you have a witness to the measurement sign off on the form.THey will not put weight on it,but will put the length.Did a few this way for the grandkids,and a friend before.Never forget your first "#20pounderbaby" right Bigun?
