First things first, I have only been fishing for three years, so please don't pile on. This year I have finally been having a measure of success, but I felt like I got to comfortable at one body of water. So a couple weeks ago I tried a new spot and ended up with this 18 incher. Found him sitting under a bridge about an hour before dark on a gulp minnow. Had my ultralight with me and it made for an awesome fight. Finally an avatar pic, even though I hope I replace it soon with something bigger.

solid fish!

 

[richard78]

I am not blowing smoke, it is not the scioto. Any other guesses, not saying I will confirm, but interested to see who can nail the spot.

Thats a dandy. Congrats.


Ps. Don't give away your honey holes.

Your right seanstone, better not discuss the area. I would love to go catch him next year when he is a 20.

 

[freshwater_newb]

that's a fine looking fish you got there. 18" is definitely brag worthy

That's a hoover honey hole fish for sure(= nice fish, well worth an avatars pic.

 

[Draggin along]

Nice fish. Love the color.

 

[shwookie]

Great fish, but you're going to have wait longer than a year for it to grow 2".

Check back on it in 2016 or so.

As Al would say, 'That's a real donkey!'

Fine job...

If you have only been fishing for three years then might I suggest a subscription to In-Fisherman. That magazine is great and only costs $12 a year.

BTW: Nice fish!
