I may need a little psychotherapy for lettin' her go...but I don't regret it at all. 'Cuz I know exactly where I put her, and I expect she'll stay put 'till this spring when she's on the end of MY jigpole...:D As much shad as they eat out there, she might gain a 1/2 pound by then...

The water out there usually stays pretty clear with all the vegetation. That's how we usually catch 'em out there, running baits just above the grass. When they're bittin' good, you can have a ball out there.

And SS, when I caught the fish that's on my wall, I didn't have a scale either...:o Didn't take me long to get one either. I isn't needed the majority of trips, but sure does come in handy when it is needed...
