Jerry, Good guys most always pass the rod. It was more than likely your expertise that made this happen. You were probably on the net and who knows what would have happened if the roles were reversed. In the end the net man seals the deal. No doubt about that.

Hoosier Daddy Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 How big was the fish Jerry? Nice to have the State Record! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryn Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 It was 24.5 lbs, not quite as big as those in your area, they really suffered the last 4 years when they dumped all of the smelt through the dam when they had the flood there, really messed up salmon fishing. They were catching salmon in the Missouri river all the way down to Nebraska. They dumped a ton of salmon through the emergency spillway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
