Caught this guy a few weeks ago in a pond. right at 11", not quite a pound. These are very cool fish. caught on small beetlespin, with body removed and tipped with nightcrawler. Slow retrieved off a point in 5 fow. These big ones tug pretty good.
If I knew where there were some brim that size I'd fish for 'em. That's a good un. Congrats.:)
Very nice!
nice ! the big ones do pull hard !
Nice, and yes them crackers can tug a line with the best of em.
did you build the boat?
i thought a citation is what you got for fishing without a license? actually my first car was an '81chevy citation.
I did not build, someone else did...perfect boat for drifting/ trolling lakes and pondsQuote:

Beautiful fish, Nice, Caught 14 yesterday morning on Lake Eufaula. No where near that big, but pulled good on micro reel w/4lb line. Great fish fry for family. Taste Goooood, Should have took photo. Too late for that now:-)
Now that's what we all are lookin for in a shellcracker. Congradulations.

Very nice and tasty I bet!:crazy:
Went to a local lake here in Indiana and caught 12 about like that. Caught them slow rolling a chartruce road runner with a kaleins black and blue curly chartruce tail, triple ripple I think
Congrats on your catch, that's a good cracker. :)
I'm sure you have probably heard of it, but if not, Google "Deep Step" on the Savannaha River. It's a backwater slough section of the river just below Clarks Hill lake. Big 'crackers caught there every year.Quote:
