Default Big hatchery hen
With all of the attention that monster native bucks have been getting (thanks Scott and Grant ), I figured that hens were being neglected.

Got this chrome hatchery wonder on a local coastal river



She came in at a little over 17 lbs and 34 inches in length. Hope you all enjoy as much as I did .

Thanks Grant (or should I say Mr. Miagi :smile: ). You recognize that spot, dont't you?

I understand that there have been some questions as to the authenticity of the adipose clip of this fish :smile: . It did have a funny adipose clip with a lower back "dangly". This picture is a little less complimentary to the fish, but it might satisfy the more curious amoung us :smile: .



Besides... I am much better than that with photoshop, I would not have left any trace at all... :smile:

If there is anyone left just "has to know", I would be willing to dig the max clipped head out of the garbage and mail it to you :grin: .

Ahhhh yes. I can still remember catfishin' off that little grassy knoll in the background with gramps like it was yesterday. I don't see the casino though. Did they move it? [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img]
