First Nickel

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Thanks for the comments guys.

No jumps, although the heart was racing a bit. I got her out of the weeds and to the boat.... I started to flip her in when she thrashed a bit and I saw how big it was..... thought oh boy.... bad idea. Wasn't using braid, had 25lb flouro..... so I stuck my mit in her mouth as fast as I could and got her aboard.....
