I was told that there were 2# CNBG in the pond. Just like most fishermen, I think that was a tall tale.......

Still haven't seen one yet, but there WAS one that was 1 1/2 pounds... Beautiful markings on the CNBG, and no two were alike. I think Al should start a thread on the different color varieties of them, with good close up pictures.

Guess I'll have to wait until October to get one to push the 32 ounce mark. Then it's coming home with me to take a visit to Cecil's.

Just shy of 2800 miles in 6 days. Better to put it on the rental than on mine!! Unlimited mileage, so that was a no brainer. The October trip will be well into the 3,000 mile range by the time I'm done.

You Okies better get the roads fixed before the next trip, the drive down 35 South of Oklahoma City was brutal.....

p.s. The Dodge gets better mileage than the chebby or the ford.......... AND the controls inside the cab are more user friendly.....

On the way back I had a nice chat with the Alabama State Police about 75 miles before Lonoke, AR. No ticket and not even a warning, it seems that going slower than the speed limit also is a reason for them to look at you harder...... BUT, after a 15 minute conversation about ponds I might be going back down there for a consultation. Seems the first Officer is about to buy a house with a pond and needs advice. When the 3rd State Police car with flashing lights pulled up, the two that I were talking to said "Oh Sh.., that's the Supervisor, we gotta go!" LOL

Thanks guys for the hospitality!! I'll have some pictures to put up this evening.
