Hey gang,

Well, I finally got out on the water today and after a slow start things turned around with a great fish and my personal best. Anyway, while trying to get her to the boat she didn't look like the monster she turned out to be in the water, but once we got her to the boat we noticed how big she really was. (48.5 x 25) My ace net man scooped her up it took two of us to pull in the net, no BSing here...This baby was a strong a hefty to say the least. Of course we CPRed her to be caught again when after she grows another 1.5in. All in all it was a great day on the water my buddies and my first fish of 2009. Now I'm just hoping it a sign of good things to come this year. :bounce:

Thanks for a great day on the water, see you all soon

Better picture to follow.......
