Fried Lemons Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 It’s been 7 long years since my last pb of 7 pounds 4 ounces on a crankbait. I picked up swimbaits with the goal of breaking that pb which I had been trying to do conventionally for 3 years at that point. After several missed opportunities last year, today I made it happen. I wanted to take advantage of the clear skies and steady 10 mph north wind that I knew would place fish in predictable areas of the lake. Sure enough I was dead walking a TK over some wood and this fish crunched it. Horrible board pic, fish was 23” and thick around the tail.

acwatkins Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 As a fellow Marylander I can respect the work it takes to get a fish like that. My pb went 7-0 about 10 years ago. Haven’t even broke 6 since, but have 2 at 5-13 lol. Congrats man you earned it! JustAnotherHookerInDC and Fried Lemons 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there are fish of this caliber in many of our smaller lakes, they just get so pressured that it’s rare for them to slip up. I go hard this time of year because it seems like most guys don’t start fishing for bass until they start showing up on beds and they’ve gone all winter without seeing a lure for the most part. Keep grinding and I’m sure you’ll get one. JustAnotherHookerInDC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
