I was having the same problem you are having, about getting the pictures in the report, this is what fixed it for me: Write the report prior to up loading the pictures, make the picture upload your last step, and submit the report immediately after you upload the pictures. I would love to see the pictures of those big fish. Ken

11/19/2009 10:18:00 AMI read a deal on the pics issue, it has to do with the amount of time taken to write report (they said that the program will time out and loose pics) to be sure and have your pics turn up it said to write the report in another program(word or notebook or even say your email program) and then copy and paste it in the report and immediately upload your pics. They will show up as long as you don't take any time writing the report. sure would like to see the pics sounds like a great day fishing!!!

11/19/2009 12:42:00 PMGreat report riprap. My buddies are heading over tommarow. I know they will find this report helpful.
They will smoke up great, if you havnt had RW smoked trips, they might become your all time favorite smoked fish. They are my favorite. It takes a LOOOONG time to smoke these fish because they are really oily, totally worth the smoking time

11/19/2009 2:41:00 PMWAY TO GO riprap101, awsome report and good catching. We will be heading farther upriver next trip. That is so cool when you can mark fish, and then BAM, fish on. There are others on the forum more qualified to answer the your growth questions, but as for release weight, some last year were in the 3-4 # range, and some escapees are as small as 8". not sure on the growth rate, but it is phenominal. Maybe someone will chime in. I can sympathize with your pops, as gas expenses to go fishing can really add up. May need to take a second job to afford it, but as cindy says, if ya did that you wouldn't have the time to go fishing.
Thanks for the report, and hope your future tripps are this good also

Try the area directly across from the 2nd set of pens. Lots of points and humps with quick access to deeper water. Plus a bunch of gravel and chunk rock where I think those fish were picking at snails. I posted the pics on an additonal report. I forgot to click the upload icon - my bad.
blufin loui - Thanks for the info and please keep the reports coming. Catch a twenty pounder for all of us.

11/19/2009 9:32:00 PMHey riprap101, once you've got a few batches of smoke in 'em, you can finish them off in the oven. Or that's worked well for me. Great to hear of your success. Andy

11/25/2009 11:59:00 AMHey RipRap.... the second picture posted must not have been of your dad's 10.2lber. That fish looks more like 3lbs to me. Don't get me wrong... that's a nice fish but 10lbs??? Good luck on your future trips up to RW. It is paradise even when the fishing is slow.

11/25/2009 1:48:00 PMThe pic of my fish was in a lot tighter, making the fish appear larger than 8 pounds. The pic on the old mans fish was out a bit. Yes, that fish DID weigh 10-2. Pops stands 6'4 and has hands the size of oven mitts. I don't know what kind of three pounders you have been hooking up with, but please let me know. Perhaps you need a new scale??
