Louie,
Thanks, I'm hopimg to make it out to Florida some time in the next couple years. You have some pigs on your side of the country. Peacocks sound like a blast.
MDK,
I don't know how big she was, I try to release them ASAP without disturbing them anymore than I already do.
Fishkeeper,
Thanks, all but the biggest were caught in a somewhat high elevation lake where the bass don't get as big as they do in some of our other lakes.
I know what you mean by getting cut by the fish's fins. Last weekend I tried to get the smallest bass out of my livewell for a tournament and was stabbed and cut pretty badly by the spines on the bass.
