Leonard Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Lunker Hunter.... Now that everyone posted they opinion ... Here's Mine... WHAT A CATCH.... If you need an Idea on how to cook that fish... call me (you'll find my number posted all over the board) and I give you my grand-daddys secret recipe on grilled stuffed trout... It's made with corn chips... and is darn good!!!! As for the catch and release issue.... Nobody asked... did you attempt to release the fish and it just would go. It kept turning on it side like it was about to die?? So Instead of leaving a dead beautiful fish in the water you took it home. Hey I do it!!!! There is one thing I really hate to see and it is those 20-25in fish dead in the water... some of these big fish that people catch is just right to feed a nice size family... I myself bring 4-5 (20-24in) fish home a year... I have a wife and 2 kids... 1 fish that size is dinner for us... But before everyone crawls up into my butt to rip me a new one.... I maybe catch 100 fish a year over 20in. so my give and take is right up there... 2 of those fish probably are the ones that wont revive.... I'm glad you caught that fish... even if you mount it or eat it... you are not from this area and that is probably one of the biggest brown you have caught... some may say "that is a fish of a lifetime (which are hard to come by)... The big 16.5lber I caught a few weeks ago... almost didn't make... but after about 10minutes he took off... I followed him to make sure he was ok... Then yesterday I heard someone "snagged" a big male fish that would have went close to 17 or 18lbs and run it up and down from chute 2 to the cable.... he took it home.... That is what p*sses me off... From what I understand... once the fish was on the bank. The guy who caught picked it up and tossed it in the back of his truck and left... http://www.taneycomonights.com

That's all you can say.
jOrOb Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Good point Leonard. Sup Griff!! You think I should switch to Decaf??? I guess I was jealous since I don't really have to worry about what I would do with a fish like that. C&R Nazi... C&R Jedi... I will go with C&R theorist... since you gotta catch before you can release jOrOb "The Lord has blessed us all today... It's just that he has been particularly good to me." Rev MacLean
