Henderson...Thursday...10/11...Lost A Monster...
OK JR, sorry about being late again.....but, I took this picture with my cell phone and tried to email it to myself so I could post from my home computer (I don't like to post from my dumb phone)....and, my email has been down for about 7 days and finally got it back up....shiners as usual 4-6 ft deep under a slip cork....hung a big something just as I was about to quit for the day around 1 PM.....thought I was hung up at first....then my line started moving....fought it for 20 minutes before it broke my 8 # test line....had to follow it with the trolling motor....there was no slowing it down...it would go to the bottom and just sit there...pulling it up was like lifting a huge log....finally got it to surface just long enough for me to get a glimpse of it....one of the largest gar I have ever seen....must have been 6 ft long and around 70 #....15 to 18" across...the scales looked like silver dollars....no way to get a picture....took both my hands to handle it....line broke just as I was about to cut it....got my 30 cent cork back...big bass was 16"....
