Got back from north carolina late last night, after a good trip (see other thread).

Decided to use my last weekday that I am not working this month to try to get a fish in the mix for Rocktober. so went out for a couple of hours this am.

This guy was taken around a dock - and really wanted to get around pilings. I had to pass my rod around one piling, and just was able to turn him and bring him straight out when he got halfway under the dock. Worth the effort.

Next issue was - it was too long for my hawg trough.
At least 31", and I wont worry about the fractions - since I didn't have the right equipement to measure it beyond that.

this is the best fish I have taken in the river ever.

It was released.

Incredible catch... I'm sure we'll be talking about that fish for a long time to come. Congratulations.:clap:
Now, on Nov. 1st can you at least give us some general ideas on where and how you caught her?

That sets a high bar! I hope that someone is tossing some 6" bombers around dock lights if they hope to beat it.;-)

if I told you where I cought her, i'd be sayin where I released her too!
Some tailpinchin fish stretcher might get ideas.

It was a usual close to home spot for me.
Nothing there today though.
