This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I've been chasing this bass for 3 years now. Managed to hook up with her a couple of times, but she always won. Last Thursday I finally got her into the livewell.
A quick ride in the livewell to the lodge, a couple of pictures and she was released in the same spot she came from, healthy and a little wiser. :D

Thanks for the comments guys!
Beachburger-
In the rush to get back to the dock, weigh her and return her to her home as stress free and as quickly as possible, I never took the time to take any measurements.
I guess I'll have to wait until the next time. :D

Congrats on the release. Good on ya'

Just one question, You said you had been pursuing this particular fish for three seasons.
You must have had some kind of GPS tracking device on that fish then? :wink: :lol: :lol:

Cheers
