Best trip ever

[Big Kahunaz]

This year....8.4lbr..6.14lbr...6.9...6.2...and about 30 more fish w/ fours and fives in the mix all within 2hrs! All i had was my wife in the boat taking pics and short vids. And all were on Sand Eel. Sick part was I lost a fish boatside that made the 8.4 look like a 6. The wife wanted to net a fish so I showed her how on the fish i landed right b4 I hooked that hog. She decided that when the fish got boatside that she'd jab the dang thing w/ the freakn net. Out pops the hook! HAH! there goes a new boat! TALK ABOUT PIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZED! And yeah....I banned her from the net!

you need to keep bringing her to keep her in practice, you never know when she might be able to help you land that big one

Yep! This year. May 28th on an evening trip.

I've got a question for you guys... I kept that fish which on a hundredths scale was 8.20 on ice to weigh it in. I submerged her in the ice. It took me about an hour and 15 minutes to get her weighed in. ( Included boat ride from south end of lake to heberts, loading and trailering to calcasieu point.) Do you think she lost an ounce or two? What is the best way to preserve a fish for optimal weighing weight if you don't have a live well? dump the ice out and put saltwater in chest?
