Sometimes its a matter of just getting out and soaking your bullhead. Sooner or later if you are in a better spot, the clicker will go. Just let me know when you want to go out and we will for sure.

great fish last night. Caught one that went 44.5x24.5 which is a upgrade for me. Dtro's weight scale for lenght x girth measurements puts this one around the 40# class.

Great job Tom! Sounds like an action packed evening this time with bigguns to boot! Earlier in the week you smoked the channels, last night it was the flatties. What's next? Mixed bag evening where you get 1/2 dozen of each!

[harvey lee]

Thats what I'm going to try for. I will need to upgrade my channel as I dont believe I can upgrade my flattie anymore. But, you can bet I will now be going for a 50. This fish was my new personal best. Great night for sure.

[aanderud]

At some point it becomes nearly impossible to upgrade. Given the size of fish involved, 5 points could mean 10 lbs easily, as you say. I suppose it adds a little bit of 'suspense' to the contest, but it also brings more luck into play as well. But, I think in the end it'll come down to more than that 1-4 inches anyway separating teams. If the points are really close, and a team was unlucky enough to have all of their players catching 'bigger' but 'not upgradeable' fish, it could make the difference, but I think that's unlikely.

Congrats on the PB! Where are the pics? Did I miss them? Another post? I'm hoping you got a couple good ones!

[harvey lee]

I havent downloaded them off the camera yet. There are not the greatest pics, but they will work. Probably tommorrow I will have them up.

I would rather be lucky than good and thats probably what happened last night as I have only been fishing these fish for a year now.

I have been very fortunate to have fished and learned from some of the best on the Minnesota river. That really helps.

Thats includes, Papa grump, Fishhead,Dtro, Rushing and Fish-N-Guy. Now theres a group that can catch catfish. Thanks to all for the help in the past year and I'm sorry if I forgot someone.

Quit teasing guys. Show us the big one.

[harvey lee]

Your right its not 44, it was 44.5.

[rushing]

That fish must have an eating disorder or related to Nicole Ritchie.

That fish is mega long for the girth. Congrats on the PB.

Nice fish Tom!!!

After this weekend, I hope to get more time to upgrade.

We will upgrade, We will upgrade

[DTro]

For those that haven't met Tom, he's the size of Samsquatch

[Shack]

Nice recovery DTRO.

Is tom that big. He seems like a big guy from the photo's I have seen .

I though what you said was nice.

[harvey lee]

Tom is that big, maybe way too much food and not enough work. Sitting in the boat doesnt do much for ones figure. Oh well.

[hanson]

Being a big guy has a downside, no matter how big the fish is, it will always look small comparatively speaking. On the flipside, the Lindners have their "smallness" working to their advantage. Everything they catch looks big.

Sorry Tom, I need to factor in the "Hatlestad ratio" next time I wrongly judge the size of your fish.

[harvey lee]

Lets just forget about the whole thing and keep on fishing. Thanks for the understanding.

[PierBridge]

Obviously that is very long fish easily into the mid 40's not real fat probably a male?

Congrats Harvey!

Grant & mpsteckle or any team member.

I will be going out Saturday night and at this time have two open seats. I will probably be fishing out of Henderson or that general area. If you would like to come along, post here or just e-mail me.

[Grant]

I'm game- check your inbox...

[harvey lee]

I will be gone racing for a week. Good luck to all and maybe one of you will catch the fish of your life.

[harvey lee]

Back from racing and headed to the river this weekend to see if Mr mudeye wants to play. Good luck to all this weekend.

[Grant]

trying from shore tomorrow night, jordan area; wish me luck- Tom, I'm putting your teachings to the test!
