Great fish!!  Congrats on a true stud.  I think you found KVDs honey hole!  

Nope he found RVD's honey hole. That would be Randy VanDam Kevin's brother and Jonathan's dad. He's the one that @Brian Schram is referencing and who holds the Ohio State record (I believe).

Yes that's correct. Randy called me to congratulate me in the fish

@Brian Schram, never seen so much negativity about a fish. If I haven't said it yet, congrats on your catch of a lifetime. Hold those things however you want and tune out the negative. Looking at a picture of a fish does not allow anyone to say how much it weighs.

Any more negative remarks will have repercussions.  It's absolutely ridiculous how some in our community behave from behind a keyboard.  We're better than that.

Slaunch Donkey, well done Schram.

Thank you and you're exactly right. You had to had been there to really understand how big this thing was. I HAVE been saving a few other pics though I call "post hater" pics ;).
