I caught it in a farm pond in boyle co. Kentucky.  I was so excited!  It weighs 9 lbs 1 oz. by the fish and game dept.  I got a ky trophy fish award for it.  It was 24.5 inches long and 17.75 inches girth.  It is my favorite down home catch! Thanks for all of Bill Dances tips you can catch fish like this!
