Great pic BH!

I caught a large mouth of about 2 lb/800g on a surface paddler from lake Scugog in Canada way back in '97.
Great fish!

Brett finger you need to get to southern usa on your next vacation. And bring your mates.
i'm gonna send you a few links, these are both located in southeastern usa (west-central alabama). Phenominal bass fishing. I recommend staying in a hotel as opposed to the lodges (look at their rates) but you may wanna get the whole experience.

what part of alabama?
we live in tuscaloosa county (west-central alabama) tell me what area your aunt lives and i will send you some info on her area. some of the best fishing in alabama is on government owned land and it is free to fish (maybe $1 or $2 to launch a boat). we fish in green county (west edge of alabama) on the tombigbee river (huck finn). actually we have a little fish camp in a place called forkland, that sits right on the tombigbee. nice to know someone in australia has an aunt in our beautiful state. if you've visited during Nov. to Feb. i'm sure you've killed a few whitetail. we have some great deer hunting in alabama.
