Congrats on that monster...Zebco Queen...What a great handle ! Looking forward to many ore posts...THANKS...

I fish harder than and longer than a lot of anglers.
When I'm lucky enough to be near water to fish I spend 17 hours almost everyday fishing.
We are usually Rving and my husband sits with the dogs and Cat while I'm fishing nearby or in my Tucktec folding Kayak. I fish with glow sticks till past midnight often.
I'm not exaggerating. I got this fishing disease when I was ten and landed a 22 lb saltwater Drum on a tiny Zebco with probably the original line that came on it.
I don't want anyone to think that this was a lady who got lucky and that's just a fluke.
Let me tell you.
I earned this with every ounce of my soul.
I am overwhelmed with just how close I was to the state record from 1999.
The last standing is 2005 1.1 lb ten inches.
I was 3.01 ounces from The Big one
I do not "Do" social media.
I'm to dang hornery to put up with people and negative comments.
I really only did this to address the fellow that said he didn't like it in the dock.
That was a partial picture of when I had the whole stringer displayed in smallest to largest.
Please don't think I don't or didn't have respect for the Beautiful Golden Skillet
He's also being a custom replica to live on forever.

Congratulations on your record Bluegill!
