Boatless Fishing Forum, Reports, Info

fished last week down in the keys... stoppd off on the way home to wet a couple lines got 4 kepper muttons including this slob coming in just a hair under 17 pounds.

hell of a nice fish but dosent look no 17lbs like maybe 25inch

Very nice fish, did you get the weight on him or just estimate?

That is all of 16 lbs and possibly close to 17 in my book... EVEN when holding it out away from you, impressive! Great Job! There are still some slobs around!

Nice Catch... Congratulations

What a mutton.

Back, Nice fish man! Don't mind the experts.

Great job backwoods! Im with crashmister, dont mind the experts just keep posting..

That's the kind of fish that makes people want to be friends with you, and also makes their blood boil! Keep it up backwoods, awesome fish man what a beauty.

Awesome fish, ignore the haters.

Backwoods I haven't been on this board a lot but I've been fishing a long time and most of it was fresh water in north GA. ive learned that you can't tell the weight buy the pic.Dont mind them corn heads there just talking junk!!! That's a great fish

As I said before

Backwoods123, Very nice looking mutton, good job pulling him out of there

The current in that place rips at times, I know you must have had great fun taking that slob out of there.

Nice Mutton! By where did you catch him?

Certainly a SLOB! Nice work!

exactly, thanks bro.. so maybe next time i shuld take a pic of its width next time too so that all the "experts"on here can see how thick it is so they can predict the weight a little better... i think my favorite comment was the one that said... " not 17 pounds maybe 17 inch"...man i guess dude must be blind, either that or he just wishes he was the one holding that fish... not trying to start issues on here but if ya got something negative to say just go to a diff thread topic.

jezzzz Who cares what it weighed if it was a tournament or something then it might matter.... its a nice fish no matter if it was 8 or 18 lbs
especially from shore.

and people wonder why there are sometimes no reports....
