Yep, great fish, the time is now.

I fished Sunday, wishing I could have fished Monday, you had perfect conditions. Warming water, low wind, full moon, well done!

Yep, someone posts something cool on the main forum and we can't have that hanging around. We gotta make room for stocked trout discussions or something.

I'm not sure if you were serious Dave, but I think this should hang around here for a while longer.

Yes, I was serious.

Just to clarify...

My "wow" comment was an expression of admiration for the fish and did not have anything to do with the thread being in the wrong place.

I frequently move threads to more appropriate forums in order to keep them populated and ensure that the forums are organized. Otherwise, everything would be under General.

When I see a thread that will be moved, I often post a brief notice such as this one as a courtesy to readers who may return to read the thread and can't find it.
