Finally I caught my PB tonight after a long wait of 2 years. Hahaha it was a bass though not crappies lol. My previous PB was 7.7lb caught on my BD 2 years ago. Tonight I caught 8.55LBs on Senko with 10lb braid 6lb leader with Lite Rod. Sorry I’m too happy and wanna share with you guys here 😝.
Congrats! That’s a nice one!
Very nice!
Nice. I would like to have seen that fish prespawn and fat and healthy to see what she weighed then. Looks like the spawn worked her over pretty good. Great catch no less.
Excellent! :biggrin
That is awesome!! Always a thrill to up the PB line on whatever species.
Giant ! Congrats on a fish of a lifetime!

Congrats on a good one!
Thanks guys, but I’m kind of cheating though, this is 400 acres private lake so I guess it is easier for me to catch these size fish compare to others.
that big girl would push 12lbs fat. nice fish.
They have been catching on average over 100 a year over 10 lbs out of Toledo Bend. On the Texas/Louisiana border. It is public and 186,000 acres. My point is, don't matter where from a big fish is a big fish. Congrats on yours. My 2 biggest are 7.3 and 7.9 out of Toledo Bend. I also wish yours would have been prespawn. My 7.3 was post spawn and the taxidermist said she would have been a 9 plus pounder a couple weeks sooner. I am going to post a pic of the replica for you. Did not do anything with the 7.9 except release her. first 2 pics will be the 7.3 live and the replica. 3rd pic is a friend of mine with an 11 pound caught on 1st cast in middle of boat lane near our old camp while his MIL was taking a pic. lol. He is a C.c member also.

A fine fish indeed, even if it is green.
Great fish. Congrats!

Thanks too bad this fish caught at night so not a lot of detail. I tried my best not to lay the fish down to get a good picture nor good measurement. This girl, I didn’t even know it was that big at first but when she saw me and my head light she ran like a tank. A few times she ran under dock and all I did, would just pray for her to come out. My setup was Lite/Finesse gear and wouldn’t be able to control her if she decided to do something unimaginable. I lost a big fish with this set up before when bass decide to hit and run, jump and spit the hook out. Luckily I didn’t put a lot of pressure on the line and she only jumped once. I can say it was 80% luck that I got to hold her, “ thank you lord giving me mercy”Quote:
