Hey guys and gals...

Just thought I would share this with you real quick...This big girl was caught Christmas Eve morning around 8am on a private farm pond.  I was using a YUM worm whacky rigged with a bullet weight.  I got the classic sun in the eyes expression  ;D  

WOW! Nice fish!

How big was it and what was your old PB?? Congratulations anyway on the hog.

Nice Catch!

Not sure on my old one...or this one really...Didn't have anything to measure or weigh with, but it was a hog for sure....I know my old one was smaller length wise, but a lot fatter.  This one was a lot more "toned", weight a bit more too.  All from same pond.

Nice one!  ;D

Very nice. Congrats

wow nice fish!!!!!!!!! i'd love to catch one that size.

judging by the size of that i'd have to put my guess between 8-9 pounds!

goooood job! what did you catch it on and how?

Holy sh!t they dont have those in  :'(nj

Congrats,

Kinda early to be opening your Christmas presents. Way to go.

Sweet fish.  I hope you got a scale for Christmas.

 Got a lot of new tackle for Xmas though...Got some tubes and tried those.  They look great floating in the water!  My next purchase for sure is a scale!!! I caught this the morning of a cold front coming in.  It was about 67 degrees for two days prior, then the morning of the 24th it started cooling down into the mid 40's.  

I just put on a YUM worm (red and black) wacky style with a black bullet weight and threw her out there.  I fished it pretty slow.  I would let it sink and set for about 5-10 second, then pull up on the rod slow, then reel in my slack.  About the 5th time, I went to pull up and felt a tap tap...I reeled just a little and felt the line go tight, then set the hook.  It was a good fight.  Had my adrenaline going for a good 30 minutes.

Nice fish for sure!!!

Adding another picture to give an example of size...I had the fish right up to me, no holding it out.

Great Fish, but the best part of the picture is the hat

Dude, when you are holding a fish like that it doesn't matter what your face looks like.  You could look like Ronnie James Dio and it would still be a great pic  

Way to go.

Holy Cow!!
