Dmthompson44 Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 After breaking my pb two weeks ago with a 10lb 4oz fish, i decided to go back and put in more work. Started off the morning working topwater for nothing. It was a pretty slow day until i thought i heard shad busting behind me. I turned around and saw what i thought was a DD largemouth chasing a single trout. The trout was jumping out of the water to get away from this pig. Must have jumped a dozen times. I picked up a rod that had an 8 in hudd on it ( even though i would have rather tossed a punker at him, which i didnt have on any of the rods) i backed the boat up and tossed just past where i saw the commotion. I slowly worked the hudd back and as soon as i hit that area i got whacked. This one put up a lot better of a fight. Was a little disappointed it wasnt a huge bucketmouth but ill take a pb striper. 10 lbs 8 oz not too shabby. kondan, oh da shiz, MarkH024 and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmthompson44 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 The lake is just so pressured. There was a tourney going on that day i pulled in this guy between 2 other boats. They both came by thinking i had i giant lmb. Too bad it wasnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilgamesh Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Are you sure your scale is right? That fish looks huge! Nice catch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmthompson44 Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 I switched to the accu cull i am not positive. When i guessed the weight i thought 14 lbs at least but i will have to check and compare scales. I always go with the lowest reading on a scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
