Members fishin_addict Posted January 31, 2011 Members Posted January 31, 2011 Had a great time down this time. Caught some nice fish and got real lucky this morning. Just want to thank Phil,Ryan and Curtis for their help this morning in weighing and releasing this fine warrior to fight another day. Hope to catch it again someday. Thanks again Phil will see you in February for you tournament. Congrats on a great fish Pete! It was good to see you guys at the tournament again this year. You must have caught it right after we went by you Sunday morning cuz we were going to stop and check in with you guys on our way back up an hour later and you were gone. I know it would've been nice to have a day earlier, but I'd take a fish like that whenever I could get it. Needed to put a tracking device on that one!!!!!
XP 590 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Wow-that's a whopper. Glad to hear it took off alive and well. As a self-admitted fly snob, please educate me. Where's Monkey Island? What is trolling with a pointer? Please be kind!

What is trolling with a pointer? Please be kind! Monkey Island is between Cooper Creek, and Branson Landing. It's the absolute worst place to fish on Taneycomo. Absolutely no fish are ever there. Nobody should ever fish near Monkey Island...Especially this coming Saturday! ;) A Pointer is a minnow imitating lure made by Lucky Craft. Somewhat like a Shad Rap, but a lot more costly! Trolling minnow imitators, spoons, and spinners behind a boat is quite popular in that area of the lake, and below. Real men go propless!
Gatorjet Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 It was released immediately after taking a couple of pictures. Amazingly, it didn't need reviving... it swam right off. Beautiful fish! I hope you took him for a little boat ride before you turned him loose. If Dave would catch it off the dock this weekend, I'll never hear the end of it!!! Real men go propless!

I was wondering what was begin trolled as well. That's a great catch. I think that one would be on my wall if I caught it.
Gatorjet Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I think that one would be on my wall if I caught it. Lots of pictures, lots of length and girth measurements, and a replica on my wall for me! Real men go propless!

ollie Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 What a beast! Congrates "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!
