Went out yesterday afternoon with my pastor. Caught seven overall this was the biggest of the day and his biggest ever Pushing 36lb 45 inches long. Caught all seven on Alabama Rig.
Boom! Great catch man, I gotta get on board with the A-Rig. Was out there this morning, only caught skippies and yellow bellies. Seen 1 striper caught around mid morning.
Great fish Dakota... you can always tell the "true" 30 pounders by looking at the hand holding the tail side of the fish. In your picture the fish makes the hand look small. I've seen other alleged 30 pounders where the hand holding the tail side of the fish is a dead give away that the fish isn't really 30 pounds. Looks like that was fun!
