RG, You're probably right. I was basing my estimate using a 16" girth which is probably a little light for this time of year. Using an 18" girth, it computes to about 10.3 lbs. What a nice fish on a fly rod!!!

OK, Thanks for the pattern, I'm going to try to break a away a little bit this afternoon and do some bass fishing for the first time this year. I absolutely love this time of year, save the tornados!!
