My personal record
« on: June 10, 2018, 04:14:31 PM »
Fished a local tournament yesterday with my brother in law and a friend.
I was the only Trad guy in the whole tournament.
We saw a ton of big fish this year and we landed a personal record. I say we because it takes a team to get a fish this large in the boat.
6’11” and weighs 155 lbs.

Thx everyone,
With all 3 of us putting an arrow in her It took about 30 minutes or so to get her in the boat.
But felt like an hour!! Lol

You could have extended the length by a foot and increased the weight by 100#s and I would have believed it.

Wonderful harvest!...Congrats!
