Well I finally got on some nice fish. Caught 3 19", 1 18", 1 17" and five 16"ers. Not to mention the other 20 fish that were smaller. I feel like I have paid my dues this year. I have caught some nice fish but have not been able to put size and numbers in the boat. I will give you guys all the details after my tourney on Sat. I took some pictures of two of the 19" fish. Unfortunately I caught them first so I could not throw them back when I caught the smaller fish. It really is rare that I would ever keep (or anyone else in my boat) a fish over 20". That is my personal limit. Sometimes my stomach overrides my better judgement. Thank you all for understanding. My fellow fishermen's opinion means alot to me. Thanks.

I got those fish on Wednesday. Was that you I saw on Tuesday? I thought your boat had more red in it.

As far as those huge bellies, I can't believe how stuffed these fish are. I have not seen that to often at this time of year. The one 19"er was a solid 3lbs! Now I have two days to find the big girls.

I just want to say congrats to Larry Eaton on his great start at L.O.W. I hope he can put two more days together and bring it home!

Yep, that was me. I was testing a prop...I toyed with the idea of running you down to see who was really faster. ha ha ha

Again, nice fish. And Yes, congrats to Larry on his first day on L.O.W, hopefully he can get a couple more good draws.

And good luck to you this weekend.
