At the rate she is gaining Ol Elwood may have to leave his honeyhole at the hollow and come visit us up here in search of the 12 lber. LOL
Don't count on me giving up Dale anytime soon for the 12 pound chase. Spent way too much time and money learning the spots that I have at Dale to give up on them to learn Laurel. I am sure I will hit Laurel one of these days but will be very difficult to drive past Dale to get to Laurel and basically that is what I have to do. I will say that a 7 1/2 pounder is a REALLY nice fish, no matter what lake she is caught in. I set a 7 pounder as my goal this winter but will only have one or two more trips to catch her this year in February.
