Me and Jose went to the Gamefishin outing at Rufus Woods and I learned a valuable lesson....bring your scale on every trip!!!
We got to Coulee Playland and rented the Yurt...equipt with multiple hearters of course as it was just 20 degrees and 3 inches of fresh snow!!!



We went out for two hours Friday...7 hrs. saturday and on Banks for 5 hours sunday.....
Heres why I needed the scale.....

She was every bit of 8 lbs and at 23-1/4 inches I thought that it had to be over 24...so she got released...too cold to fillet fish anyways!!! plus they eat better at 3-4 lbs....
Jose got this lil chunker Trout on Banks....

Hey Larry,

Sorry to burst your bubble a bit, but using a typical length-weight relationship for walleye, a 23 inch fish weighs in around 4.5 pounds. An 8 pounder would have to be more like 28 inches.

BUT! Many kudos to you and Jose for getting out to Banks in the snow and catching some nice fish. That is awesome.

Bob...we did spin out once going up the dam but did no damage....Chris..I wondered that myself....did have a full gut....I have always been a bad judge of weight still, i think it was 6-7.
