Big fish of month 2012!!NC

[jerry9497]

This thread will be for big fish of the month from all across North Carolina for 2012. We will start this up from Jan1,2012. Fish must be caught with rod and reel only. Fish must be released in the same body of water it was caught from to apply. No *** lake fish!! You must post a picture of the fish with weight and tell what body of water it came from. It would also be informative if you list What type Rod/Reel/line weight. We doing this for fun and enjoyment for the honest fisherman. Should be a good friendly battle. We about to find out who will be the North Carolina Big fish Mastercatter for 2012! No prizes. Good Luck!

Pictures must show the whole fish...head to tail including both ends on fish laying in the floor of a boat. Stand up pictures are okay as long as they are clear.
Fellows lets try to use this method for posting pictures http://www.mastercatters2.com/showth...ures-1797.html This way they get saved in the gallery and the site dont loose them when someone removes them from photobucket.

[dearl]

I told Aaron I thought that was you, I know somebody else that was there too, They didnt move much so they were probably on fish .

Here's one I caught yesterday out at Kerr Lake....unfortunately I didn't get to weigh it because I left the working scale on my other boat!!! Figured I would still share it though, and see what you guys thought on the weight. We did measure it at 45 inches from tip to tail. I'm thinking somewhere in the ball park of 40 pounds??? Curious what some of you more experienced guys think. I'm just hoping I can find her again come time for the Ice Bowl!
Caught her on an Abu 6500 with 30 pound mono. Tight lines

[CMJ]

That should be a good guess with that length, maybe a little more than 40, pictures are hard to judge sometimes. Pretty fish....

I would say 45lb
