Thread: Plate size shellcracker...with the head off

Please don't even think of telling right where you caught it ,but sure curious if these niceuns are comming from public waters.

Yes they public waters.

Now how neat is that? Great fish taken from public waters. Tip of my hat to you and your abilities. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Froggie .... that's a sureanuff goodun you got there !!

Reminds me of a Bluegill that my Great Uncle David caught out of a neighbors small lake. I was just a youngster, but I knew what size was "normal" for certain species of fish. After my Great Grandma cooked it & put it on a regular size dinner plate, Uncle David didn't have any room to put anything else on that plate Rofl .... that thing stuck out over both sides of that plate

I can't even begin to imagine how much that fish weighed, or even if it was a State Record or anything ... but, I do know that my Great Uncle David ate the whole thing, all by himself, and that was all he cared about back in those days

While your fish may have made a good looking mount, you can't eat it if you have it mounted ... but, hey ... you know where that one came from, so you still have a chance at catching one of its family members or schoolmates, and they might even be bigger Thumbs Up

... cp

On the day i caught this one they liked the little crank better than crickets--go figure...Maybe some early spawners.....
