Man those are some nice ones!!
I haven't crossed the river yet but I usually make a couple of trips a year. Nothing like watching my wife's face when she brings one of those hogs into the boat. Nothing like watching her face when she has to throw back about 10 in a row that are about 11 3/4 inches long either. She'll measure them 2 or 3 times sometimes to try and get them over 12 inches. LOL
Haha...... prob the same look thats on mine!!!

Cool, nice catch.
I know! I usually tell people that everytime I'm dragging one into the boat I'm licking my lips just thinking about when I'm going to eat them. But on the Big 4 that's a recipe for chapped lips, and then out of nowhere, you drag in a hog and life is good again.Quote:

Nice fish!

I'm the same way but then I remind myself that those filets could cost me about $400 per pound (1/3 pound of filets off that fish @ $140 fine for a short fish).:biggrinQuote:

I know beyond the shadow of a doubt when I get to the ramp that I’m good. Its definitely not worth the cost of the ticket. I throw plenty back with the tail right over the 12” line.
