Travis Jackson catches the North Carolina Shellcracker Record 5/19/2008

Mrs. Jackson pulled her son away from his Sony Playstation that day in May three years ago and Travis soon landed the fish pictured in a farm pond in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. The fish measured 15 and 1/16 inches long and had a girth of 18 and 1/8 inches! The weight was certified @ a local Piggly Wiggly grocery store in nearby Rocky Mount. That's why I fish because you just never know what the next cast holds! Great fish Travis. Five pounders are rare but many North Carolina rivers have consistent catches of 2 pound plus shellcrackers.....Nice to look back every once in awhile and congrats again Travis.
