Did she have the apple bottom as well?

Great fish , any specs...length or weight?

Not quite an apple bottom . She probably will have even more belly in a few weeks. It is a little early for the spawn. I don't think that she was completely full of eggs yet. The water temp is 62 degrees in some places because of all of our strange 80 degree winter weather. The fish are on the move, but the cold front at the end of this next week will move them back out.
No specs. I weighed her on my digital scale, snapped a picture and put her back.

Beautiful DVL specimen, congrats on that beauty!

I was at it again yesterday. My top 5 went over 25lbs., but I lost a fish close to ten when my hook broke in half at the boat . Lot's of fish in the 4-6 range.

I like 8's too! I had hooked and lost what I assume is this fish twice over the last month because each of the bites came in the exact place, and I got a good look at the fish each time. The third time was a charm.
