hit the new PB today..

I was fishin for my small fry to put in my aquairum.. and i saw a big ripple..

i had a texas rigged, weighted... pumpkin finesse worm.. just what yall said..

and i grabbed my knife and a red spinner bait [in clear water] and said "i'm goin to go catch a fish"...

and i chased big bubbles and swirls around for 35 minutes.. and i lost the top half of my reel .. so after i got it back [ i was fishing over bryars] and threw once more before i changed to spinner bait i got a big hit.. but i didnt set it.. i thought it was the moss that seemed to be sucking my lure into itself..

i casted once more and got the hit of a life time.. my new rod popped and cracked and my reel's drag was buzzing like crazy.. and i saw the mouth on it.. way bigger than anything i have ever caught.. my buddy, standing over the spill way heard me say.. DUDE.....IG.. ...ISH...

so he took off runnin.. and i couldnt get through the bryars in shorts and he jumped down there and grabbed it... and i jumped up and down for 30 minutes afterwards..

i was gunna cook it.. i showed it to my grandparents and my dads friend and my dad and they all wanted me to cook it... and i put it in my aquairum... to leak test it.. and it lived.. so i grabbed two knives.. and my head light.. and i went outside and he was in the corner.. looking at me.. and i couldnt do it ... i went soft.. put him on a towel in the back of the truck and let him go..









oh.. and i couldnt find our calculator..

measurements are 18x 11...

one calculator i found said 3.49 lbs

[MrPhotographer06]

Thanks bama.. thats my lifetime record too ..

i wish i knew the password at the time of catching it.. i would have put it in the bragging rights tourney..

[MrPhotographer06]

might i remind you.. that i also caught this in only 1-2.5 feet of water..

i walked across that exact spot last year

My PB of 09 was also on my new rod, in fact, it was my first fish on that rod, and my first fish of 09!!

I also looked it up on a calculator, I put the dimensions in and got the same weight as you did!

Once again, congrats!

[1/4 stick]

Great fish! May it be the first of many and bigger ones for ya.

[MrPhotographer06]

thats my first fish on that rod too

[abu4600]

[MrPhotographer06]

quality is pretty good.. i've got to get it broken in good .. but its a medium action 6'6' and on that fish it bent pretty good.. but it held up well

Today we fished the same pond but in the boat and i had one bigger and when i went down to get it he came out the water.. and the line knot came loose...

i ended up with a 12" jackfish and missed hook sets on a 2.5 jack a 1.7 and 1.5 bass that my buddy ended up getting after me....

[scbassman]
