That is one heck of an eye! My best this year is only 23" and 4#. Actually that is about my biggest ever. Welcome to BFT and we look forward to seeing your posts. What state do you call home? ---

I donā€™t catch enough eyes to ā€œload upā€ and i usually donā€™t freeze any fish so i eat as i catch or release. The eyes get eaten as soon as i get home or shortly after. I donā€™t ā€œcatch and releaseā€ on the elk and deer though. I have about 30# of elk meat and 20# of deer left of the 1 elk and 3 deer i got last year. ---

I used to keep trout and freeze the due to laziness on my part but they always got freezer burned before we ate them. I donā€™t do it anymore because of that. If i catch a limit of wipers or cats i will keep them and invite the family over that night. No one goes hungry and the fish get eaten right away.[:)] ---
