:D:D Man those are some nice fish.. I grew up in Alabama and moved to Texas when I got out of high school in 79. They don't make slabs here like they do there. I catch alot of 12-14 inch fish, a few over 2lbs here and there, but I only scared 3lbs once and they were back to back 2.75 lb'rs. Been a few years since those two monsters.
Would love to hit some of those North Alabama lakes in the spring, for a shot at a really biggun!!
