I've thrown every other 3 pounder I've caught in the grease for sure. I guess I'm a local being 45 min away. I knew this was my biggest so I figured I'd try to weigh her and make a nice mount. And the beard was about 6 inches longer during duck season, but it was time for a trimmin. Thanks for the comments. Went this evening and had 14. Only 3 big females, the rest males, something is a brewin I guess.
