Cumberland River 1/6/18

Very nice! Congratz!

Was she full of eggs? Or spawned out?

Full of eggs!! She dropped about 15-20 in the boat before I got her back in the water. Hoping that was a drop in the bucket to what she will drop later since we released her live and well.

Its great that you got such a good picture and an accurate weight of her. Did you get good length and girth measurements? That will be a fantastic replica mount

Was afraid of keeping her out any longer than I had already had her trying to get the weight so I put her back. I would have hated to unintentionally harm a fish like that so girth and length went by the wayside. I would guess her at 28 inches long but couldn't even begin to guess the girth.

Nice brown. I fished the lower part of the river with minimal results. Lookin to get back soon.

One of To Do's for this year is to learn how to paint replicas.
She has some awesome markings. Glad you let her go. I
thought they may have already spawned but I guess its on
now.

We caught a bunch of rainbows that also dropped a few eggs in the boat. Female rainbows have a beautiful color right now. Or did last week anyway.
