Live bait... light spinning tackle. Old Chuck had his hands full for some minutes!

How much does that thing weigh? he kinda looks like me in size (big ole boy) Hard to judge it since a big feller is holding it up.. 25?

Great Pic! Looks like a great morning to be below the Dam.

That is a good pic and fish..Pretty sure that's not a 25lber, looks like a 5-10lber Fat and ready to spawn.

Is the bait thick down there? Did you get yours off the wingwall? Nickajack it is ridiculus, but always welcome in my book.

nice fish (especially on bream gear)emoThumbsup

I'm not saying what he weighed. emoTongue
I typically discourage clients from weighing fish. That way they can provide whatever weight they want when they brag to their friends. I'm also a professional photographer who is pretty good at making fish look bigger than they really are. All part of doing business

I think that that fish looks to be between 10 and 20lbs plus or minus.

Polo, you cant go between 10 and 20 and still get a plus or minus, no fair, you didnt say plus or minus what. I think its between 2 and 40 and no plus or minus.

 

[polo-dog]

You know what? I think that you are right flip. emoScratch

 

[flip1up]

Are you going to be able to fish with us on the 15th at Nick.? Hope so, its just not the same without ya.

 

[polo-dog]

Nope, wish that I could but I'm working that day. It should be a lot of fun. Catch a couple big ones for me!!!!!emoSmile
