My Hands Are Still Shaking. 2024
rippin-lips reply :
My buddy hit me up to fish after work tonight. Local reservoir that can only be fished from shore and it gets hit HARD. I was fishing from probably the most popular spot too. Felt some weight and saw the line move. Set the hook and started reeling. Realized when it was just my handle turning and not the spool it was a good fish. Then the whoosh noises definitely let me know it was a good one. Made a small jump close to shore and then I landed her. My buddy said that's probably a 5lbr. I told him it's over 6 for sure. I never usually fish wacky but I'm sure glad I did. My Pb thus far is 6.5. That was until tonight.

I always try to carry a scale because sometimes you just never know. Without it I wouldn't of known I have a new Pb now.
Hi Salenity reply :
Great fish!!!
Darren. reply :
Yeah, I was gonna say - before I saw your scale pic - that your fish was well over 6 pounds, pushing 7 give or take. I'm glad I was close!
Big congrats!

And it is time to change your "My PB:" description to "Between 7-8 lbs"!
Alonerankin2 reply :
Wow! That's a chunk of a fish! Nice job!!
rippin-lips reply :
I was thinking about 7 before I got it weighed. Also hoping because my goal after the 6 was to hit 7. I also haven't caught nearly as many in the 4-5 range this year so it made up for it. I'm just happy I had the scale so I wasn't purely guessing on weight.On 8/30/2014 at 10:57 AM, DarrenM said:Yeah, I was gonna say - before I saw your scale pic - that your fish was well over 6 pounds, pushing 7 give or take.

Thanks everyone once again. None of my friends understand the feeling of excitement you get from something like this.

Every local and their cousins fish that place. I also could care less if someone else catches it. I'm sure someone already has at some point, just not recently from anyone that I know who fishes there. I hope someone does actually catch it because it will make a great memory for them. Only thing I wouldn't want is for someone to keep it. I have no right to say what they do with it though. I would probably try my best to talk them out of it if I was there. Maybe tackle them and throw it back myself haha.

I agree with you on hoping they would release it. There is a spot on the river I fish called the log jam that everyone knows about. A couple weeks ago my wife and I was working our way down to the log jam we could hear a couple of guys in that area and could hear them laughing and caring on after landing a nice fish. A short while later they motored up and headed our way when they got close to us they slowed up I asked him how big was that fish they caught he reached in the live well and pulled out hawg said it weighs 8.83. Around here 22" - 8ib largemouth is a trophy fish I hope he was just going to have it measure and weighed and then release it. I plan on mounting my first 8 pounder but I will have a replica made.
rippin-lips reply :
Yeah same here. I'll photo it and take measurements and get a replica made of whatever fish I decide is my trophy fish.

I'm thinking about getting a replica made but I'm not sure yet. I'm hoping to hit the #8 mark first before I spend that kind of money.

I throw anything of size back so hopefully I can catch it when it's even bigger.
