Same fish...

Last year I caught her April 27.  Guess where I'll be next year during the April full moon?  At the rate she is growing, she will need one to two more years to crack 10 pounds.  This shows that catch and release (and then re-catch and re-release) is working.

April 27 was quarter moon. 

I guess she did not grow much at all. 3 oz is just one snack away. Things must be tough in the delta. I would think the fish would gain a pound or two if the food is abundant.

I completely forgot about stomach content weight.  How knows, an empty stomach this time around, but a full stomach last time and maybe she actually gained a full pound since last year.

She knew it was you and wanted her picture taken again, the Ham! 

I'm thinking he trained the fish  Come on now tell the truth

Looks like she is the Landlord of that spot - and she is collecting the rent!

Go back to that spot next month and see if she raises it.

I'll give you a spaghetti tag so you can tag her.

Jim, can you make me up a couple hundred with something like "this fish has been C&R'd by Fishunter....release it NOW!

 

I've always wanted to tag a few fish!

Same fish.

Same bait?
