12 Lber And 10 Lber In 15 Minutes 2024
Dead River reply :
12 lber from Georgia
So this is how it happened. I figured the water temp would have risen in this location due to its size and depth. Figured I might see a bed. Afterall I worked a fish there the year prior for almost 2.5 hrs. The domino never fell unfortunately. So I located this bed with about a 3 lb buck and two large females.I for one.prefer to.leave the male on the bed and antagonize him.enough to make the female(s) come in for.crowd control. I've seen multiple females on a bed before but never two this large defending it. They obviously both laid in it which is common.so I realize one is slightly larger than the other and target.it primarily. After.what felt like.at least 100 casts she finally clobbered the black and.red.glitter 6"'zoom lizard. The tug of war was amazing, rod.doubled over and she thrashed a couple.of.times. far too heavy to.pull up the bank so.when I lipped her and pulled.her out.of.the waternit.blew my.mind.how.large.she was. Moreover how.much larger than.I had anticipated her to be. Adrenaline has been kicking for.several.mins and im elated. I go to pull my cell phone out and ita not.in.my pocket. I left it on.the charger.in the car.accidentally trying to.make.sure.I had enough.juice in the even that I made.any long.walks. instead of.laying.the fish in.the grass to.be tarred and.feathered by grass clippings.and pine.straw and.ultimately.destroy its slimecoat I walked 50-60 yards to the car and got.my phone. I was exhausted. I.had already weighed the fish on.a boga and it pulled the scale.down to 12. Got.some by standers to.take.some photos. Dunked the fish and.held.her.by hand with the intentions of.taking a release.video and.some.more.selfies. I had a fish gripper via the boga but a mixture of.excitement and.the accumulation.of.several nights of.3'hours sleep.did.not.behoove me. The fish shook my barehand and made a break.for.it. I went.in the water up to my knees and had two.hands on her belly like she was a pig I was chasing in a barnyard.she shook again. And I.had an existential moment.and asked.myself what am I doing knee.deep.in a pond with my dress pants and shoes chasing a bass I already have.4'photos of. Subsequently I caught the smaller remaining female. She weighed 10.25 lbs on first pulldown of the boga.not as long and not as big of a head but an absolute boss. An "over" a fish that has outgrown.its frame in.all senses.the photos I got of her are abysmal. Taken from too far away. But when you are relying.on.bystanders for.memory pieces it.happens. unfortunately, I.didnt measure.the.fish.but in talking to.the.biologist over the location.its probably best that I.didnt put the fish.on.the ground.
Now ppl are picking.me.apart because.I.didnt.longarm.the fish.
Definitely one.of.the highlights of.my endeavours.

Wow! Nice fish
Dead River reply :
The photos where you can see my shoes are the best reference. These are my 9th and 10th double digit bass respectively. The photos do not do them justice. Both were rotundly fat from head to tail.
Dead River reply :
Here's the 10 lber
Long Mike reply :
Wow! What a great day you must have had! Congrats!
Dead River reply :
I am 6' 1" 230 lbs. I wear a size 11 shoe which avg for a male. I mention this because unfortunately I did not get measurements. But I did weigh both fish on my brand new boga grip.

Public, 2" longer length limit, creel limit is half the state reg, managed for balance not trophy

Tell me about it. If that place was moderated as well as this forum is, I'd still be posting. Its for the best, that place has steadily gone downhill. I'd rather post here

HAWGS!!!!!!!!!!! NIce fish man!!!!!
Dead River reply :
I added the details of the story for you guys. Good things can happen when you're unprepared
Lucky Craft Man reply :
Congratulations on both fish! I have to say, that 12 pounder is a beast, but I like the picture of the 10 pounder a little more. Something about the wet pants and shoes in that second picture after knowing you got hog slapped by the 12 pounder prior makes that picture a little more memorable.
Catt reply :
That's some Hawgs right there 
J McRae reply :
Congrats to you! I wouldn't know how to act after catching two like that.
Dead River reply :
Thank you all for the kind words.
