Guntersville mid march?

[cooter 33]

Did anybody at the Louisville boat show see that replica of a 14 pound however many ounce replica from guntersville. Not to slam the art work but I would rather realease the fish and also say no to the replica. Like a previous post said that big fish will probably not be caught again, and truth be knownmight be sterile.

Guntersville in March? All I can say is I'm jealous of the person who gets to go!

As for dead things on the wall verses replica....heck, I've got a striper and a smallmouth on the wall...one is from Cumberland River the other is from our sacred Dale Hollow. I'll never put another striper on the wall and I will most likely never put another smallmouth on the wall....it would have to be awfully big for me to do so (8 lbs plus). The only species of fish I still want to put on the wall is a Cumberland River Trout...and once again I will get the real deal, no replica's for me. This is it for me...I just want fish on my wall that represent the places I was raised and the places I love to be.

Fish are just like people in that they grow different sizes, some are big, some are small, some are short and fat, they have different life expectancy's, etc....aint no gaurantee's every fish is going to grow up to be the next world or state record. As long as every one's honest in their catching there is nothing wrong with keeping fish just so long as everyone follows the reg's.

Headed down Wed. also, can't wait. And if I catch an 8 pounder, it WILL go on my wall. I have a 7 1/2 from there in 2009 and I love it. It's the law, I buy a out of state license, I can keep the fish. I hope all you catch and release guys catch all the 10 pounders and let them go, but not this ol' boy. Seventh year in a row and I can't wait.. We had a guy get a 9 last year and yes its on the wall. I'm fired up and hope to post some good reports.
