22 Years In The Making 2025

Texfisherman reply : 

I've been fishing on and off for 22 years and finally caught my 1st lunker yesterday.

She weighed in at 8lbs, 4 ozs.

Just wanted to share it with all of you.

Never give up on catching that monster!

(hope I'm posting this in the right place,lol)

Texfisherman reply : 

I was experimenting around and threw a wacky-rigged 7.5" Culprit Black/Red Ribbon Tail worm, with a 1/8 ounce nail weight in the head of the worm.

My line was Trilene 10 pound test (monofilament) and my knot was the Trilene knot.

I was worried with the 10 pound test, but I loosened the drag and let her run around while keeping tension and then, when she got close to the boat, I dipped the tip of my rod in the water to prevent her from jumping, though she still jumped a bit.

I'm ready to hit the lake again, lol!

Thanks for the comments, everyone!!

Texfisherman reply : 

Thanks, everyone!

I think, looking at her girth, she was already spawned out.
