10 lb 8 oz Larry Caught at Dale Today

[Mean Morone]

Thats a big bunch of brown fish right there. I would take one half that size and be thrilled.

Man, what a hoss, I believe I would of had to drop her back in, and get a replica made, think of all the little ones she is going to make, with some great genes.

great fish!!!

Her new home will be on the wall at the Dale Hollow 1 Stop - I know it's a fine line, but given the choice between going home with David or going to a local landmark where everyone can see her, I'm good with the decision that was made.

i do not blame him for putting her on the wall at all...... and i have talked to biologists before and they will tell u that a real old fish like that dont produce as many fertile eggs as the younger fish adn they are also very quick to give up on the bed..... so i would keep it that is a fish of a lifetime especially out of the holler.....i went thru the same aggrivation for keeping my 5 lb smallie this year..... basically i came to the conclusion that if i wanna keep a fish i will.... i would have put that 10lber right there beside my brown fish on the wall..... but good catch for sure....
