Good time by all. I stopped at 23 and culled 10 fish after that. Perfect day. The fish are in the open water from freeman to the dam.

Good pics, and excellent story telling. I love it!

Great report and pics LWH. That smaller "slab" looks kinda drafted beside that hawg that Chuckauten is holding up.:eek: Looks like a great day for that wide open water on Talquin and good seeing everybody catching some good fish.:)

congrats on the specks

Wish i was there my friend James Gore used to go down for a wk about this time of year, brings back a lot of memories of the stories he used to tell me.

Great pics and story line too. Glad ya'll got a break from the wind.

Awesome fish Chuck. Better than anything I caught lately. Thankful, James Gore was a fine fellow. I learned alot from him. He is truly missed.

Very nice day. I hope to see you out there in the morning.

Sorry i missed Talquin this year but i bet i dont next year!

Looks great ! ! ! ! !

I wished that I could have stayed a few more days, but I have been enjoying some quality time with my dad here in St. Pete....Great pics, Hooker...Just hope they are still biting when I get back in a couple of weeks.....Thanks for the great meal while I was down there, Hooker!!!cheers

A day you dream of. Good weather, fishing and most of all a lot of C.C fishermen. With this season, it takes little to give thanks for being able to enjoy. Wish all of you were here to enjoy. Have a blessed Christmas and New year.

One of the glory's in creation is at your right hand, what a whopper! It's the reason I try to make talquin at least once a year, great lake with structure & depth, congrads chuckauten!!

I got to watch Rawhide filet that big fish Chuck caught. It looked even bigger in person! They are saying the next 2 months will see a lot of those, I am looking forward to it, if I can just get to the lake on a good day!

WE did good.......Some how I ended up cleaning 75 fish, that's not my job HOOKER, anyway it sure a lot easier fileting 12in fish than all those hogs. I may just start keeping 12ers.....Great fun and good friends can't be beat....Cheers everyone..

Somehow I got designated the "official Filleter" in other words, I use the electric knife. Don't mind especially helping out some of the "Senior" fishermen who have problems cleaning their fish. With Rawhide, we just gang up on them. It was a good week at Talquin.......with Rawhide, Chuck, Chuckauten (he's learning more about how to become a southerner), Quickhook, Joe, TnT X 2, No Mercy and all the others.

They didn't bite great Sat but a 12.5 incher jumped in the live well. I have a picture of Rawhide behind my boat. If I figure out how to post it will I be in the leagues of LWH and TNT?
