"I caught the Striped Bass at Lake Gaston, Brunswick County, Virginia, on Jan. 2, 2000.  It is a citation fish weighing 24 pounds, eight ounces and 37 inches long.  It now hangs on the wall at Southside Virginia Community College in Alberta, Virginia,  where I am the Public Relations Coordinator."

My husband, Gil, and daughter, Lannie, age 6, were with me and helped get the fish in the boat. We live in Brunswick County, Virginia.
