That is a sweet cat Rich. I can't wait to see how excited you get when you catch a 20 pounder! :wink:

On a serious note, I recomend investing in a good scale. 2 years ago I thought I was catch pretty decent bass. I got frustrated with guys telling me the fish were smaller than i thought they were. Turns out my scale sucked.

I'm gonna try out a few of my favorite spots for cats this week. Maybe we can hook up.
