I've been fishing on and off for 22 years and finally caught my 1st lunker yesterday.
She weighed in at 8lbs, 4 ozs.
Just wanted to share it with all of you.

I was experimenting around and threw a wacky-rigged 7.5" Culprit Black/Red Ribbon Tail worm, with a 1/8 ounce nail weight in the head of the worm.
My line was Trilene 10 pound test (monofilament) and my knot was the Trilene knot.
I was worried with the 10 pound test, but I loosened the drag and let her run around while keeping tension and then, when she got close to the boat, I dipped the tip of my rod in the water to prevent her from jumping, though she still jumped a bit.
I'm ready to hit the lake again, lol!
Thanks for the comments, everyone!!
