Slab, We really didnt get a chance to take pictures of the fish because when we first came it the FWC folks were there and I took our fish stright over to them after weighting in. They said something about how they have to open the fish up to get to the ear bones? but by the time they were done the fish..............didnt look so great for pictures LOLQuote:
Great job on the slide show CG1, but how was the fishing? I see a couple fish there in the pics. Was it as good as it was at Monroe?
Didnt quite get the picture at that time but now I completely understand................off with their heads lol
Fish seemed about the same as Monroes (The last fest Ed got a 2.3 pder, this last one at Crescent lake, Chuck picked one up prefishing the day before the same size)
Safe to say the river system is producing good fish.
I think our fish ran between 1.79 and 1.65, but we were lucky enought to find a few.
I didnt get the pictures but in the end it still felt great to help out the FWC and their efforts in studying the lake.
I was an honor just to place in this crowd of folks and I got a few very snazy trophies to smile at.
It was another great time Ed and you would have been proud :)
ED, Johns post on the fish and weight is posted in another thread, so i will copy it here, hopefully he wont mind, as he did a great job on it.Quote:

Second Place for Heaviest 5 fish 5.65 Lb went to team of Mr and Mrs Slabkeeper

There was a special guest attending. Cheree Steward Biological Scientist II, Freshwater Fisheries Research, Florida Fish & Wildlife Research Institute, Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, 601 W. Woodward Ave., Eustis, FL 32726
She had requested permission to collect some data on the fish that was caught "The data I need would involve measuring the fish after weigh-in and removing their otoliths (“ear bones”) to determine their age".
Checking of the"ear bones" of the large fish that Crapslabstu and Rocketman brought in the age of the fish was determined to be 7 Years Old
Several door prizes were given out.
I missed another one
And we missed you my friend.
