Well guys and gals, tonight must have been my lucky night, almost didn't go fishing after work like I usually do, but at the last minute decided too. Man am I glad I did, 10 minutes into what would have been an hour and 20 minutes max of fishing, I hooked the biggest fish of my life, and I landed it. And as soon as I could catch my breath I called my wife to bring the digital camera, I had to keep it in the water until she got there, 5 minutes, than a few pics weigh it and put it back in. Man this has been a bad week at work now it doesn't seem so bad. BTW this was caught in a little private lake that only myself and 3 others fish, it was for years a stocked pay lake and was closed to the public 12 years ago, good size fish are common, but this ones a monster for Missouri and especially this lake. Thanks for sharing my moment, now do you think I will ever get to sleep? here is a link to my page<br /><br /> http://www.geocities.com/oharver/fish.html?1063854586740 <br /><br />Matt
