Awesome fish!!! Congrats Ron and Mike. Sounds like the scales you weighed the fish on at the lake were a little light!!!! It was fun for my partner and me just to hear of your catch on the vhf

When I first weighed it the tare was off on the scales allowing it to read lite. Later we decided to reweigh it with the same Shoot Out scales zero'd out and the second weighing came in at 8.98 lbs. We made the decision then to get it weighed on certified scales. Those Shoot Out scales are very accurate. Just was a flub on my part on the first weighing.

Nice Fish.
I was sort of half listening when I saw you at Mazza's store, I think right after you had released the fish. I was more interested at the time talking to you about your boat.
