The big 1
« on: May 06, 2009, 08:28:53 PM »
I caught her and she was released, i dont know how much she weighed but it was huge and full of eggs. I layed her in the back of the truck for a pic and then let her go she swam off and hopefully layed all of her eggs. The net is a salmon net to put it into perspective, i was by myself so that was the only pic i could take in a hurry so i could get her back in, my guess was somewere around 15 pounds or so.
