Location: Eau Claire, WI		Preaching to the choir, I know, but still wanted to share a good story about C&R and home ranges.

I got this sweet girl last night. 47.5

Our chapter is involved in floy tagging. Have been for years This is a WI DNR approved activity, we are permitted. As we were working on this fish, we found one. #1470

This fish was caught in September of 2005 and tagged by my friend Jason Smith. He measured it at 47.5. The fish looks to have gained weight.

I caught it last night about 50 yds from where he caught it.

C&R works and fish do have home areas. Just another story to support it.

Yes we record them all as best we can and keep them in a spread sheet. Helps reveal a few trends like growth rates, home areas, etc.

It's a optical illusion, at a svelt 6' 4" & ~230lbs Jason makes all fish look smaller than they actually are!

Nice photo's- BTW- Jason always has that same estatic grin in all of his big fish photo's!

Have fun!

Goes to show you that photos are somewhat decieving depending on the angle and distance. But this fish was witnessed twice at 47.5".

Last I looked I was 5'6" and yes...230lbs..LOL

Nicely done, Jon and Jason.

Location: Eau Claire, WI		LOL! the crap stain was a little farther south.

Malone did a great job on the net and with the camera. Thanks my friend!

With Malone in my boat...I think I average about 44" per fish. not bad and all I have to do is let him break things.

Lambeau, a Girf sounds pretty good right now! on sub, LBI.

Koepp, come up and catch her! If we get her again, she's the new "Dolly", eh Smith?
