I was wading a creek near Carabelle this weekend and managed to catch one fish. It was a nice one though. It weighed 6.01 pounds. A professional photographer taking pictures from the bridge took the photos for me.

That's a fine fish man! Question: did you hire a photographer to take pictures of you?

No I didn't hire the photographer. :lol: She's a friend. It was really cool though that she was taking pictures of the natural scenery and got the whole thing in a series of photographs. I didn't realize it until I got it on the bank finally.

Man that is a nice one, and very nice pics to go with it. :thumbup:

We caught two small ones during the NFGFC Tournament on Saturday. I tried my best to split one side midway down along the backbone and fillet all of the meat off in one piece to make stuffed flounder, but I couldn't figure out how to keep the fillets attached out near the end of the bones beneath the fins. Does anybody know if that can be done?
