I want pictures of those fish. I was a 12.4 come out of a pond a few years ago. Biggest I have seen in person

Sam Taylor has the best old fashioned phone in the state and raises energizer bunnies.

Interesting. It has been 12 years since a fish has made the list. Any thoughts as to why that might be the case?

Who compiled the list? I know of two fish that could be on the list. One is at the taxidermist, the other one got thrown back.

We used to fish my father's bossman's pond down there on the plantation. It is around 30 acres. There have been multiple 10-13 lbers that have been brought out of it. I have laid eyes on one that big in there.

One of the guys that manages the plantation has a 80 acre "pond" at his place. There have been some 15-16 lbers caught in it.
