Default Jpp 4/6

Managed to get out on Priest for a few hours this afternoon. Water is really funky right now. In most places, it is like fishing in 56-58 degree coffee. Its not really muddy just stained. We stayed between Hobson Pike and the dam. Bites were really few and far in between but we did manage a few keeper sized fish. All were caught on swimbaits and spinnerbaits and all released. This was the biggest of the day.

Any guesses of what she weighed? I was somewhat surprised. Just for reference, I am about 5'10" 200.

Appreciate all the kind words. You guys are all thinking about what I was when I pulled her out of the net. I thought she would be well over 6 but not quite 7. My scale spit out 5.6. I'm not sure if I believe that or not.

Either way, I was happy and where I caught her from makes me think the spawn is not far off at all.

Nothing shrinks a fish faster than a scale.

Doesn't matter what it weighed... it's still a great looking fish.
