The lake is my home lake it is small (1000 acres). I actually live about 5mins from the lake. Ive fished it every free min for the last three months. I wasnt able to release the 9.13 – It wouldnthave made it. Im going to have it mounted and it will go with a 9.3 I caught a few years back. The 11.4 I didnt even take the boat out of the water and the bioligist certified it at the ramp.I took it back where I caught it and released it. Hoping it will be there next year (Ha!). I purposely backed off tournement fishing this year so I could try and catch another large fish. I was VERY fortunate to catch two. I strongly believe that the full moon in Mar and Apr is the most opitimum time to catch a quality fish. The year I caught the 9.3 (2002)I caught a 8.3, 8.8 and two 7.0 all around the full moon. The 9.3 came in Apr 2 days before.Big Al
