Look what I caught on a 10' Ozark pole

I know it isnt a very good picture but it is a spoonbill that weighted about 50 pounds. I caught it at 5am Sunday morning on a pole I had set out on my pontoon boat.

Wow!!!

Bet that was exciting!

I bet that was fun

Wow!! What size line were you using? Could have been a line-class record?

I just spooled it with 10 lb Stren gold for crankin. Whats funny is I caught it on a leftover cooked sausage cindy and I had for dinner. She must have just had her mouth open going thru the water cause I hooked her in the corner of her mouth and they only eat plankton.

Oh yeah!! That had to be a blast to catch.

Those things are prehistoric looking creatures,caught one years ago on a jig on a miss river oxbow, nice!!!

WOW! That had to be a blast. I don't think it would have fit in any net I own.

Those are good eating
