dont forget to add yourself on that list rick

My 12.5 lber is happy to take the back seat. It is a rare treat to see this many good fish caught. And it is even greater that it is mostly OAF guys, because we can share stories and pics and good conversation.

The fish that Brandon has is not the 12.5 that I caught the night before. Too much red with the lateral and espescially the gill plate. Great looking fish, reminds me of the redbands at montauk in the early 80's.

I covered the tail once on a really big bow I caught down in Arkansas in '98... the guys from WA who were there with me took the pics.. they assured the fish was 12-14lbs... I'll post my pic.. which looks very similar to Brandon's fish.
