Nice! And just think back in January she would have probably been knocking on the door of 12lb.
Thanks Mike!Quote:

If you was entered in the trophy catch program that fish would be worth som bass pro gift cards and chance to win a boat!!!
Don't let the bass guy's see this post.Our shelves at our bait shops are bare now.LOL.They are rigging them on umbrella rig's.suppose to be a secret.LOL

Great job! I can imagine that was a battle on a 12 foot rod! Way to go, congrats on the release also.

Great story, thanks for sharing it all. I love while jogging at Lake Kissimmee and get a big one on and to watch them take drag out through the lily pads.
