the first 2 show the actual length difference - I didn't move the tip

Ron -

Is that the same bass that is in all of your photos :lol

I get a kick out of seeing your photos, they are always very nice, and the bass usually looks like the came fish ... it must be tough to catch that say one over and over again but he/she does pose nice!

I did catch this fish 3 times - twice the same day then again two weeks later.

During spring shad run on the North San Gabriel, I caught the same largemouth seven times in one morning - he was at the same spot at the bottom of the swing against the gravel bar I was wading, and I could identify him by a scar on his head (maybe it was brain damage) - also caught 40 white bass that day. The water was black with shad and the on the flag stone shelves a white footprint would open up for you on each step. Every fish from the lake was up with them, too.

Its funny how that green reel makes the green decal really pop off that blank and make it more noticeable.
