Nice fish, everyone! Congrats on your new PB, Hawghunter. That is a beast.

This fat fish from Saturday choked down an 8 inch ROF12 Huddleston.

Awesome fish Tag! seeing pics like that give me a little more confidence in throwing big baits. Keep'em coming :D

Thanks, Jipper! She was a short, fat fish and weighed around 7-1/2 pounds. I was using an 8 foot swimbait rod, Shimano Calcutta 401 TE spooled with 80 lb. Tuf-Line XP to a 25 lb. Seaguar Premier fluorocarbon leader. She pulled hard but the equipment required to throw these heavy lures handles the bigger fish nicely. There are a lot of quality fish out there waiting for you. Keep casting!

Thank you very much, Clark. Big baits definitely take time to learn and some patience to fish, but the rewards can be a lot of fun. Good luck!

Biskit nice job man and glad to see you back, thought you'd dissapeared for good!
I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

Here are some monsters for this year..

I have $60,000 invested in a boat, motor, gear and baits all to catch a fish with a brain the size of a pea. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks, forgot to mention it took about 10 minutes to get her in, she dug down into the weeds and didn't want to come up. Up down, up down, a few times. But my 10# line held up and my Dobyns 702 rod with Shimano spinning reel did great. :cheers:
