Ended 2016 with a bang

[Blll]

Fished Coose Hollow yesterday with brooders. Tons of bait right from the mouth.  No bait in less than 35 fow. Blessed with a beauty that bottomed out my Boga. 42" guessing around 31#'s. Quite a circus in the wind. Let em' go to see him next year. Happy New Year all OA folk. Thanks for teaching me about Beaver.

Excellent!  I'll be looking for him....next year.  Thanks also to all you guys who helped me with my first year on Beaver.  Great to be back in AR.  Happy new year OA.

Good one there Bill, and likewise, Happy New Years folks!

Congratulations Bill!  That's heck of a fish.  I took out my wife's cousins kids out today and the 15 yr old got him self a 42 incher also.  It weighed in at just over 29 pounds.  The 18yr got two 12 pound fish. They were both extatic!!  Like u said, ending 2016 with a bang was a prefect title.  Thanks for sharing.  Here's a couple of pics.
