We absolutely sacked them at Minsi yesterday. Wind was howling the entire time and water was over 60 degrees after this gorgeous weekend. I have a GoPro camera and caught all of the action. A YouTube video will be up later this week and posted to this thread! But for now, here is a picture of my giant! Our old and crappy scale had her at 5 lbs 8 ozs, but this same scale was more than half a pound light in a tournament (said 5 lbs 11 oz and tournament scale had it at 6.56 lbs) last year and I compared her picture to other fish over 6 pounds we have caught and she looks 6. What do you think?

Congrats on the great day and great fish!  I think you should buy a new "non crappy" scale!

Thanks! I do plan on that. I'm going to order one of the grip-type scales later.

Awesome fish! Looks like a 6decent to me or close to it either way great fish

Awesome! Nicely done, you had a great day.

 

Same here, I caught 9, weighed 7, a beast broke my line and took a lipless crank with it. Was huge, saw it in all its glory. The loss is totally my fault for not retying when I knew I should have....I knew the line just above the clip was a bit frayed. I kept throwing the cranky anyway. Dadgummit.

 

Lesson hopefully learned. Again. And again.

Very nice fish congrats

Nice catching!!  Congrats!

Here is a link to the video I promised! Just got done editing it and uploading last night. It's almost 9 minutes long so I made sure I put the big one as the second catch in the video. Put it in HD!

 

I'd give you 6 on that fish all day. Nice catch.

Thanks! and nice signature! lol

Way to stick em but good.....
