KWC it is the one at Dandrigde at the Jeff Cty exit. I am strictly a catch and release fishermen but I could not get this fish going again after bringing it from the deep. When I inserted the needle it just rolled too its side, so I guess I will do a skin mount instead of a Replica. BTW I just got back from the Taxidermist and his certified scales weighed the fish at 8.25? He said the weight calculator maybe flawed b/c this fish's tail was damaged and could be nearly a full inch longer if not for the curved nature of the tail?

I could not belive it. I am horrible at judging LM, much better at SM. When I got it to the boat and we netted it I asked my buddy will it go 7?? He laughed at me and said maybe 9. After I casted a few times still cussing b/c I could not bleed the air correctly from the fish, it hit me that I probally caught my fish of a lifetime in this area and I got a little weak legged. I felt like a little kid. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I am sure that this is what my smile looked like.

freakin' awesome. i have seen 3 ways of getting a fish bladder corrected. hypodermic needle through the side and mouth. the other one that i saw that some cali boys doing was putting a heavy weight tied to a rod in the fishes mouth. then the would let out line to the depth where the fish was caught and when the fish was better he or she would spit the weight. i don't know, but i thought it was interesting so you wouldn't have to mess with needles. what depth did you catch that fish. i am going to have to start carrying some iv catheders for my fish. way to go stonewall!

The moment I have been waiting for...the grand prize. Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised when my award came in the mail. I want to thank One Stop and Fish2win for sponsering the contest. I got some valuable baits that might give me a slight advantage for next quarter's contest. Everything is great and I am real thankful. Everyone should try extra hard to win next quarter because there are some gems in the prize packet. I really appreciate it!

I don't know if they can help me catch another big fish this year (I fear I have used up all of my big fish wishes) but I will for sure try. I too would like to thank One Stop and Fish2win for the prizes. I am going out tonight to fish for probably the last time for a month or so with the beginning of school and football season as well. Too many films to break down between now and the opener Aug. 24.
