Title: Got a nice one this afternoon
Post by: coyote101 on April 30, 2010, 10:46:53 PM
Fished a couple of hours this evening. We caught fourteen fish, including four between 12 and 13 inches. Then about 7:30 this guy took an 8 inch curly tailed worm:

Five and three quarter pounds and a bit over 22 inches.

My wife caught this 11 1/2 inch red eared sunfish a couple of weeks ago in the same lake:

That bass is a DANDY!  Thanks for the story and great pics.

But the sunfish is huge compared to any I've ever seen, a Boone & Crockett fish!

Nice fish Pat.  I don't read to many of these fishing post, makes me kinda jealous as I really enjoy fishing and there is not much of it around where I live.  Tell the wife congratulations,  that's the biggest red ear I have ever seen.

Pat,

Nice pictures and even nicer fish.  What is even better is that you get your wife to go out with you.  Looks like a nice place to spend a little time.

Tell the wife congratulations,  that's the biggest red ear I have ever seen. 

Kentucky has a Trophy fish program where the Department will send a certificate for fish over a certain size. Sunfish and bluegill qualify at 10 inches. That red ear made it easily.  She also caught a bluegill the same day that was a little over nine inches. Just missed qualifying two fish in one day.

She loves to fish. I gave her that old canoe for Mother's Day last year and we have spent many hours in it. She's got a bladder about the size of a peanut and can't ride in the car for more than a couple of hours. But somehow she can fish for six or seven hours straight and never complain. And I won't either!

I think it is spooled with 14# flourocarbon.
