Finally, after almost 10 years, I topped my old personal best.

I started around 1:30 today, and caught this dink off a war eagle black n blue spinnerbait.

Fished for another 5 hours and didn't catch a darn thing. I threw everything I had in the arsenal. I was packing up to go and decided to try out my spinning rod with a black neon kriet kreature. Threw it on there with a 1/8 bullet weight and a 2/0 worm hook, Texas rigged. Cast out over a fallen tree, let it sink, then began my retrieve. Felt a strong tug, and drove the hook home.

She come up and tail danced for me twice. I must have looked like a fool running back and forth on the bank to keep her out of the tree. She was pulling drag all over the place. Finally got her up out of the water and weighed her in at 5 pounds.

I haven't stopped grinning since I landed her. I set her free to grow some more! I know 5 pounds isn't much, but she's certainly the biggest I've ever seen in person!
