Haha! I'm loving the interest in the 3rd place prize! We're gonna start seeing smallies with their tails cut off pretty soon to fall into that slot....

First day out and nice to be back. Picked this one up just where I thought they might be. Photo is a bit tough to take in the heat of the moment; trying to get it done quickly and accurately. (think I'll pick up a measuring board to help) In any event, thinking 18.75" is a fair measurement. Picked up 1 other before things turned off and we were sent scrambling. Can't complain...just back to the books to prepare for the next trip out.

First fish of the year goes out to by co-worker/fishing buddy who passed on last week. This season's for you Dan B.
