Washington Fishing

The Online Source for Washington Fishing Information

I just got off the phone with Russell Baker. He was so excited I could not even understand him. After he calmed down a bit he said " You won't believe what is in my live well. I got me a 9 pounder!" He said the scale they weighed her on said 8 pounds 14 ounces. They are going to weigh her again and get some pictures which I am sure he will be posting soon. So I would have to say if his story holds up he has the big-un of the year to this point. Phil Mehrtens is with him and they both sounded like a couple of nuts on the phone. Congratulations Russell. I can't wait to see some pictures!

Did he catch it out of a Phoenix Bass Boat from Limit Out Performance Marine?
That is a big one for sure! Did he catch more than 1?
Chevron,

You do know that we are going to have to see some photo evidence before this can be taken serious?
At this point it is not credible.
Hopefully Phil can stop swinging from Russells sack long enough to take a picture.

So at this point it is a one fish bonanza.

I don't knowif they got more than one or not. We did not get to far into the converstion. I am at work and I had business to take care of.

Does he plan on keeping it?

Mark Chevrier said:
Oh I am sure there will be one coming. He had just put it in the livewell when he called me. I am sure when he gets home tonight he will be wanting to show that pig off.

Congratulations, Russ.

I am assuming we are talking green and not brown?

ciao,
Marc
He's bringing it home?
You must mean he wants to show off the picture.
What lake is he fishing?

Bess,

Would you be willing to be my play by play announcer for tomorrow's fishing trip? I will give you hourly updates and you can keep all of our friends here on Wafish up to speed.

I thought the NCAA tournament was distracting but this is just too much. I am literally on pins and needles. We should try to get a live feed next time somone from this site goes fishing.
Can someone post a pic of Aaron's Monster from Moses, I forgot to scope it out at Auburn Sports last night. Congrats Russ. I don't think I'd have my buddy make a post about it with play by play, but thats a big fish.

Oh great Silver ?! Theres not much to pre-fishing Silver. He caught his BIG fish of the tourny during pre-fish, Russ come on ;-)
