| Naa... I'm not much for Fancy Guppies. What got me interested was that in Bassmaster Magazine... they were saying
that there is no 4# line record for several states... Tennessee included. I
was guessing that since there's not an entry, I could weigh in a 15" bass
caught on 4# line and have a record, even if for a short time. Whatcha
think? Oh yeah... that was www.igfa.org that I was looking for. |

| I can see that. I once caught a 4.5 on 6lb mono. I found the trick to
landing big fish on light line is to use a long limber rod. Mine was with a
spinning reel on an 8' fly rod. I also caught one big channel catfish on
that same rod. I don't remember the exact weight, but it was bigger than
the bass. It also took me more than 45 minutes and a walk / wade / swim
adventure to land that one. For a more serious look at landing big fish on light line take a look at
fishing for steelhead on Lake Erie with noodle rods. My uncle David does a
lot of that kind of fishing. I bet some of the long crappie rods would lend themselves well to managing
big fish on light line as well. They woud not be allowed for most bass
tournaments, but for record hunting I bet they would work great.

| I saw that Charles. I also noticed NJ on the list. I was thinking that could
be a nice addition to an e-mail signature. Seeing as I caught 5 bass the
other day fishing in NJ It should be no problem NJ State Line Class Record Holder,,, hmm bet that would bug Harry for a few
days.. :-) |

| I have been a member of IGFA for many years - there are some minimum
requirements on a record. Will try to look them up when I get back from
Wisconsin. Wish you were going!
