First of all: I am so happy I have a forum home once again! Now to the fishing.
Me, my dad, and my little brother went to the ladders on Saturday. I was in a float tube about 100 yards off shore throwing a luckycraft pointer 100 in a ghost brown minnow color. I landed three fish and lost a couple ( I always file off my barbs. I lose some fish, but I feel better about using treble hooks that way). I was out on the reservoir for about an hour until my little brother got tired of catching nothing from shore and wanted to try out my new tube. Unfortunately for him the winds started kicking up badly and it got a lot colder so he got skunked while fishing from the tube and from shore (unless you count the three crawdads he caught).
Anyway, I thought one of the fish was out of the slot so I brought him in to measure him. Gratefully some one on shore had a measuring tape. I gave him the fish to measure and he told me 25". Then he got a hand scale because it was a fatty and he told me it weighed 5 lbs. I don't know how accurate either measurement was... I like to think it was that big! It was definately over the slot so I thought, as I often do..."What would LOAH do?" The answer spoke quietly to my heart.... "eat him Keala, eat him" so I did!
I couldn't get the picture post to work so here are the links:
