Nice fish!
I've read that you have to put in 100hrs just to land one. You'd think that in 10 outtings with 4 guys we'd land one by now.... :roll:

OK, who gonna be the WiseGuy to make a remark about it taking 100 hours to land a hooked fish? :crook

(Really means it takes about an average of 100 hours to get a good bite and a hooked fish on, not 100 hours to land it.)

Joe. :teeth :thup

Great fish, my favorite stomping grounds. Definitely have to put your time in to get them. Used to be happy with 1 keeper per day with 3-4 guys fishing.

What bait?? Big tide??

Perfect time, after big rain, muddy water. :thup

 

[bncwaite]

Bait was Lamprey and ghost. The tide was in the middle of the big outgo...30 feet of water....took about 25 minutes to land.

Nice fish. With only a 1/2" to spare on the size, you definitely wanted to hold that one horizontally until you got it home, so it didn't stretch a 1/2" between when you and the gamie measured it! :lol:
