Skeeter102 Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 This past Sunday , around 1:45 hit a smaller shallower pond as our ice has been out for a few week , working the 3 pc pizz wake trout 5ft off shore against some reeds a fish smashed it and threw the bait a few ft away, quickly threw a smaller beast wake around the area to no avail i knew she was probably in the same area , and told myself I was going to come back later and try again with a smaller profile than the wake trout 9:30 pm , pitch black and raining pretty good , went back to the spot with the 3 pc beast wake and made a few casts , (my son was with me and was raining pretty bad and wind blowing into shore and told him last cast ) as I worked it back twitching it and making as much noise as I could to make up for the crappy weather , all of a sudden I thought I was snagged and started to pull it in like you would a stick (one hand on handle and other above my reel just pulling in) . She starts to fight back and next minute was a blur until she reached the reeds and pulled her over lol I was amazed at just a hair over 23 inches she was only 7lbs pb for me LOL MartinG, Bassboydave, Jim137a and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG_Fishes Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Giant, what a great story behind that fish too, congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepinItReelFishing Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Congrats on the awesome fish / PB! Excellent execution on the follow up. Once they hit 23" they can be within such a range, from a low of 6lbs if they are gaunt and unhealthy, to 11lbs if they are like an overstuffed football. At least you joined the 7lb club man....its not easy! Congrats again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
