Got a HOG this morning!!!

cotton · 03-13-11, 08:57 PM

I was like a kid in a candy store when I got this girl in! Wanted to mount her but she was ready to pop so sadly had to release but what a great memory this will be! Weight in at 9.6 pounds

Pharticus · 03-13-11, 08:58 PM

Wow! That's a great lookin' fish! Congrats.

WatterBoy · 03-13-11, 09:02 PM

Nice toad there, Cotton -- way to go!

carolina-rig-01 · 03-13-11, 09:17 PM

Good fish man! Should have taken measurments and a lot of pics and had a replica made. Best of both worlds that way, fish lives and you get the mount.

cotton · 03-13-11, 09:21 PM

Thanks guys! And carolina-rig, u know me from Missouri.. The first thing I did was send the pic back to my brother in missouri to rub it in!! He too said the same thing aboout the measurements and weight, to bad I was to excited for it to even cross my mind

cotton · 03-13-11, 09:47 PM

Also, My boat mods should be complete next weekend so I will be posting pictures then.

Awesome fish!!..Congrats on the catch..Im assuming a PB?

lilmule · 03-14-11, 11:54 AM

Nice fish,but one can still have a mount take a pic and measure they build nice ones out of plastic,and the fish isnt hurt as released.Length ,girth pic and weight.
I have a 9 plus on my wall,that my uncle had mounted they lose their beauty over time when real
