Big BT at Shipbuilders

[paprman]

1st trip of the season, went 6 for 7, all browns. The last one in the boat was a 17lber. Tough to boat by myself. My biggest ever. Water temp was about 40. Worked the usual 6 to 12 ft of water.

[paprman]

Not mounting. It's out there for some one else to catch. I usualy do all catch and release.

[Yankee Troller]

Sweet! We try to recommend that to our clients this time of year. All but 3 fish were returned this past weekend for us. Good job again!

Awesome fish old boy and congrats on the release I'm a catch and release guy myself. I get to head to new York Sunday for my first time ever fishing. My wife is retiring from the army at fort drum so we will be there ten days. So I get to do nothing but fish..
