bassbass Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) First cast Saturday morning, felt the thump and set the hook. She was about 5-6 feet long, but not short and fat and teethless. Once she came up she opened her mouth and the bait came out unharmed.

Had one come behind my 3:16 10" FS that was 10-12 feet, and swam as fast as I could reel, but then I was like this thing is coming right at me in a 10 foot Jon boat so then turn TM on high, she stopped and went under. I packed it up for that day and went home. Mountainryan and Texasfishn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
