NICE!  That's the fish I've been dreaming about for the last 3 months.  That will get your face in the Bass Master Lunker Club.  You should send in the pics and measurements.  Congrats.

  Hey Mike,  all I have to say to Bobber about that is GOOD LUCK  !!  I was going to try and submit one a couple years back.  You wouldn't believe what all they want from you to qualify.  Length, girth, weight on certified scales, witness etc.  You would have thought you were applying for a world record instead of just having your picture in a magazine.  On a side note, I do keep a flexible tape for measuring girth in the boat now.  lolol

Unless you got a flatbottom jetboat or are plum crazy you don't want those waypoints.  From what I hear you have to get your boat up to 100 mph and then launch off a ramp built out of old VW's while trimming the motor up, then barrel roll the boat through a ring of fire and torpedo under the water when you land to clear the razor wire running over the water. :o :o :o  And that's just to get back there  :o :o :o  Coming out is a whole other challenge with the fire breathing dragon that's mad at you for catching his supper and all!!!!

I heard skip has a big bungee cord back there strung between two trees and he snaps himself out like a giant sling shot!?!

Every fish I weighed on my scale were about a half pound more than the board estimated. So if the 6.4 was from the board - it was probably  7lb on a digital scale.

Once they get that big the scale on the board is pretty close.  Give or take a few ounces depending on girth and spawn, but still relatively close.  Seems like when I asked Bobber he said it went 6, don't know if that was scaled or not.

200 yards out from blue sea wall. Mepps spinners were the key.
