Thread: Giant bream

Glenn Harris with Monroe News Star says there were reports of a bream weighing 1.99# caught at Caney this week. No other info. Should be state record if true. I haven't caught any crappie in a month over there. Gonna try night fishing this weekend.

The way bream fight I'd be scared a two pound bream would pull me out of the boat!

I've caught some big red ears out of Black Bayou in Hosston, but I don't think anything near 2 lbs, and I agree with ya George...better keep a tight grip on the pole in that lake and tie yourself to the boat. hahaha

I'm sure it was a chinquapin and not a bluegill. 8 of the top 10 chinquapins in the state records came out of Caney. The record is 2.87 lbs.

Hey Scott, it is a plant also. There is alot of them in the marsh when the lily pads start drying up. They use them in alot of flower arrangements.

Brucec, it's what we call red ears/shell crackers....we also call crappie white perch or sac-au- lait. pronounce sack olay. We speak funny down here. lol
