Sam reply :

Super catch.

Thanks for sharing and congrats.

Now go back and catch her again!

SteveinVA reply :

Thanks for all the congrats, biggest LMB I have ever caught. Caught her in my neighborhood lake out here in King George. Pretty sure I hooked her this summer but she got off at the boat. I didnt know that was a state citation I thought it was 8lbs for a citation? anyway caught her dragging the bottom with a black and blue jig with yamamatsu(sp) split tail grub trailer. We had been slayin 1-2lbs all summer in this lake. got a 2-4lber in the spring but nothing this big have I even heard fo being in there. Being such a small lake I am gonna try to do some management from here on out. Gonna start eating or relocating at lot of the smaller ones we catch next summer. Try to thin out some of the competition. My buddy also caught a chain pickeral the same day probably around 2-3 lbs. really cool looking fish, didn't know those were in our lake either.

By the way I put her back. Catch and release only way to go with the big girls

Question: Is there anything I can do now , Citation wise??

A.Do? reply :

I believe the citation size is 8lbs.

Very nice catch! especially for this time of the year. There's a pond I fish in King George but I'm thinking it's frozen right now.... >

8lbs or 22inches for citation!

oooh yeah, forgot about the length.

I don't know if VA cares much about citations....all you need is a witness to sign off on it I think. the form is on the dgif website.

SteveinVA reply :

unfortunately we didn't get a pic with the tape measure next to her. d**n it, I think you have to have a pic when certifying by length. I will get her next time... ;D

Reel_Kaotic reply :

Congrats, nice catch!

soccplayer07 reply :

SteveinVA reply :

SteveinVA reply :

good call , below I will figure something out

J Francho reply :

If you need to warn us about language, then it probably isn't appropriate to post. Edit it, or forget it

SteveinVA reply :

View at your own risk, I have a slight loss of judgement and partially curse under my breath at one point

intheweeds reply :

SteveinVA, you do not need a pic when trying to get a citation by length, you only need a witness. Very nice fish!

SteveinVA reply :

Cool, thanks

Aluma-Bass reply :

yea you can still apply for citation...they dont need a pic.

SteveinVA reply :

I am gonna send them one anyway ;D ;D

Reel_Kaotic reply :

@SteveinVA: Go to your profile edit, upload picture from your computer, then refresh your page. The new picture should appear. When it does, just stroll down and click save.

SteveinVA reply :
