Thanks again, Guys! It was a really fun experience, I hope to catch a matching one next weekend so I can have one to go on the wall on each side of the mantle!
Marc, your dad sounds alot like me.. I would tip the canoe and never let go of the fish too... gotta keep your priorities straight and all..
Medic, I caught him on Inland Lake which resides just outside of Onteonta AL off of Hwy 75. They just re-opened the lake it has been closed to the public for awhile because the water was so low... It supplies a pretty big part of Birmingham with drinking water.
Scott and PatB... STRIPPERS?!
Johnston, I am doing great after surgery... I feel like I am back to 100% now... Just really don't like being on these blood thinners.
Paul, the best time to go catch em is right now in AL... along with the crappie and bass. I was crappie fishing when I caught this one.
