Good fishing. I don't suggest placing them on a dry surface because it can compromise their slime layer. Still, good fishing, excellent report, and I can see you are hooked for life.

I didnt really want to do that either but trying to take a picture so that you dont get the old "well where are the pics at" when your by yourself is difficult. But I do see your point and well taken.

I understand. Several years back when the Tigers were at their peak in Hauser I caught several over 50". The problem was that I was always by myself - none of my friends were adequately equipped and and my wife thought I was crazy spending so much time over there. Here is the problem, I have no pictures, no proof, nothing but two giant boxes of used lures. I suppose that in hind sight I should have done what you did at least once. Oh well. Thanks for your report and pictures.
