    Nice fish poke.. An inch and "shoulders" and we'd be back in the ball park..

    Different fish - different places. I used to weigh a lot of fish and usually have a pretty good handle on them.. Example - we have a few smallies here. They are long and skinny - completely different fish than their "northern" cousins.. I fish that would weigh five pounds in Canada won't weigh 4 here - maybe 3 1/2. Take my word for it (or don't ) a 20" bass *here* will weigh right at 5 pounds +/-. I quit worrying about it years ago unless there's a drink bet on "biggest" fish.

    Anyway - caught about a dozen bass yesterday. Nothing big - top end was probably 2 1/2#. Did catch 2 nice crappie and several of the bass on the 3 weight. Stinking wind is still blowing out of NE (about 3 weeks of it now) and feels like it's coming off the ice pack. Woke up this morning to nearly 2" of snow. Welcome to Iowa. This too shall pass. . .
