Fresh Water Sea Monsters

I hooked something not once but twice today that ripped over 350’ of 30# braid off my reel the first time and the second one didn’t stop till he had over 500’ of line and turned the boat sideways. The closes I got to seeing what it was was a boil on the surface about as big as a wash tub. One broke and the other one straightened a #6 treble hook. Good thing the Sac A Lait were biting to keep my mind off these monsters. This trip today was to try out some crank baits that I painted and never had to change baits all morning. Attachment 380929

Nice fish and cranks!
I don’t mind losing a big fish, but I hate not seeing it! Ok, I do hate losing a big fish. Who am I kidding

Man I do not know, but it must have been a really big one, nice picks.

Here is some older pictures of what they might be, but could be big spoonbill catfish. Attachment 380984

Beautiful sunrise and great job painting those cranks Skip. We're lookin' forward to you landing the mystery aqua creature in later episodes.
Thanks for sharing your day with the rest of us.

If you see Betty White on the bank herding a cow toward the water...may was well just find you another fishing hole and not worry about it. :P

Good pics of some nice fish and the colorful sky. Thanks for sharing!

Fresh water Sasquatch, I'm betting!

I'm betting a Fresh Water Sasquatch!

Any strippers or hybrids there??

Not that I know of.

Possibly foul hooked a spoonbill.

I used your hand painted orange cranks that you gave me chip. They worked great. The only thing that would catch for me out there when I went. Thanks buddy.

Some quality fish there Chip! I'm thinking big gar or maybe spoonbill catfish that got away!
