Two very nice fish.

Surprise, surprise, they are holding them with two hands.

[RobbyZ5001]

I forget do they release those SAL or keep them?

[Uncle Leo]

A Senko strikes again. Most will say they only catch dinks with a Senko?

They are picked up by the hatchery truck and returned to the hatchery in Athens Texas. They are quarantined, treated with meds, and each fish is spawned in a seperate tank if possible. After the spawning process the fish is allowed to recover and then transported back to the lake it came from and released. The donating angler has the option to meet the truck at the original lake and live release the fish if he wants to. I have heard talk that not all of the fish get back to the original water, but that is just hearsay as far as I am concerned.

Each angler that donated his fish over 13 pounds receives a free replica mount, jacket, and some other things. the angler that donates the largest fish each year also gets a free life time fishing license.

Is that a jab?

The story with the lower fish is pretty cool, too.
