Very nice...where in Illinois? I grew up catching fish on the Mississippi just south of STL in a little river town in So Illinois... the fish were big thanks to all the help from the Monsanto plants discharge...lol

Great Catch...sorry about the stogie but well worth the sacrifice!

The cigar was about 1/2 smoked, but....it was a Hoyo DC yikes. I fish the strip mines in southern IL, and as you know if you went to SIU there are many.

 

[looking for knowledge]

Nice catches.

How do you typically cook up/prepare your fresh bass?

Congrats on the great catches. Those are two impressive specimens.

Those are some damned odd lookin' trout you have there. (Says a reformed Southern bass fisherman!)

Nice catches! I'm still waitin' for ice-out...dammit.
