Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 17, 2007 Root Admin Posted March 17, 2007 Jeff Cross caught this beatiful brown off our dock early this morning. He was using power bait, 6 lb line and a small treble hook. 24.75 inches with a 16.5 inch girth. No weight was taken but guessed it to be about 8.5 pounds.

Members twhit Posted March 17, 2007 Members Posted March 17, 2007 Nice lookin fish. Is that a release with the long net? Tip my hat to the lucky guy if so! Just like to see good fish put back to fight another battle.
RiverRunner Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Judging by its gut, I'd say that fish had been hanging around the fish cleaning station. I've seen a lot of big fish on the White hanging around any place where fish are cleaned. Still a beautiful fish though!
MrDucky Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 That is a AWESOME looking fish!! Yikes!!! I Hate that warning horn
Terry Beeson Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 And of course, I was fishing the White at BSD... where the fish were NOT cooperating.... Nice pheesh!!!!!

jscheetz Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 twhit - "Release"?????? Are you kidding? He's dressed in camo head to toe - that boy's a meat eater.

SilverMallard Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 I wear camo sometimes when fishing, and I release almost all of my trout and bass. Of course, I don't fish with Power Bait unless it's to intro some kiddo to trout fishing, either. But let's not make too many assumptions. Phil's pretty good about educating and inspiring his bait and spin fishing clientele about C&R. A LOT of fish caught at Lilley's get returned unharmed to fight another day.

FRENZEL Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Does it really matter what it was eating or how it was caught? Doesn't mske it any less of a fish in my eyes. Or him any less of a fisherman. Great fish, Good job Jeff. TRACY FRENZEL FRENZELS GUIDE SERVICE 417-699-2277 "ONE MORE CAST"
