Don,

I never said you had to kill the fish, just weigh it on a certified scale, then put her back in the lake, it is done all the time. There has got to be a market nearby. I'll get you a weigh in bag if you need one, it will hold the bass and water. And if one largemouth happens to be taken out of Rogers its no big deal, I personally release hundreds of bass each year, as do most other bass fishermen.

I am fishing Gardner tomorrow afternoon, if it is still "on", we will plan a trip there soon. Double or nothing on whether you get a 5 pound smallie in CT this year?

Mike
