Chris Email me your pn# if you are available on short notice and at night. That is pretty much how it always is for me. I usually know about 5 or 6pm if I'll be hitting it. Usually, I don't go till 9 or 10pm. Last night was a fluke getting there just after sunset. But, I'm glad I did.

Joey is an excellent angler. He can get annoying, but he's alright overall. It's too bad most of the other kids can't get past his problems. He puts up w/ a lot of crap. It's one thing to put up w/ it as a pinhead. A whole 'nother thing when its from your peers. He could teach them a thing or two if they were willing to shut up. Anyways, I thought he had been exagerating, until I saw the Polaroid. It was a horrible shot (darkness is horrible for those cameras), but convinced me enough to call it 10-12#.

Mine had no belly and was still a huge. I had to turn it and support the belly to get a good look. Thing could've fit a small cat in it's mouth. I almost walked over to the road to show passing cars, just couldn't get over it. He too left quite the trail in the moss. Can't believe I gave him slack to hop the chain, I should have lost him then. I'll think twice next time though.

Was the 4 your only fish? When did you leave? I got there about 20min. after sunset. What about thurs. night maybe? Won't know for sure until sometime that day though, just depends on my work load and wife. Let me know.
