No, I actually walked the fish to the boat to meet the guide that had a net. She had it choked and wasn’t fighting a ton so I just kept tension and took my time walking 30 or so yards. The captain freaked out when he saw her and jumped in to finish the job with the net. We once we had her secure, we were very careful with her to make sure she was in good shape for release. My buddy stuck one almost 7 within a minute of me catching this one so he did the same thing and we were able to get pictures of them both and release them together.

Thanks for the recommendations, I decided to go with New Wave for my replica. It will be about a year before I get it, but it’s worth it for a fish of a lifetime!

You can go on Joe’s instagram or Facebook to see a bunch of the other fish, it’s a very unique fishing ecosystem and the deer down there are ridiculous, my god. The first day, the bucks were chasing does between the houses and cars like they were not even there. We are talking about 150+” inch deer.

I’m terrible with pictures but these are some of the fish.

Three of my buddies and I are headed to Port Mansfield in the morning to fish for a couple days with Joe Prado. Has anyone been on a trip down there? We are all proficient fishermen and I’m pretty jacked up to have a chance to catch a trophy class trout. I will post pictures and a review when I get back in town.

Nola Hunt and Fish out of the Rigolets is really good. I know the guys that run it and they are as good as it gets. I think they still stay in a camp on Lake Catherine and you will run crap traps and jug lines for gar if you want as well. They run lines and do open water hunts. They also have access to a very large piece of marsh.

The DQ from the Big O was rather egregious from listening to the other anglers that are familiar with the situation and have spoken out about it. Even though the info he got was 3 months before the tournament, he actively participated and sought info during the no info window and it was caught on film. That’s an instant DQ no matter how you read the rules. BASS let him save face on that one but he was under a microscope.

Guys like Hackney, Swindle, Gufsafson and Feider have gone on podcasts in the last month and all been very open about how they feel about the Scott Martin’s DQ at Okeechobee. They all have said that he has a history of doing the same thing for years. I was pissed that BASS allowed Scott Martin to control the narrative and he claimed that he self reported, he certainly did not and he asked for info on video.

With Trump running up decent margins, what are the realistic expectations for these races. I thought 53 was close to the cap for the Senate and the House would be close but we may see some Republicans get pulled across the finish line. Any guesses?
