digital scale said 9lbs 13oz. horrible pic, i know, but i have more coming from my dad that i will post. this is from my cell phone, and i couldnt get the whole fish in the pic and hold the phone out far enough. also the sun behind me doesnt help. i had no way of taking her dimensions but she must liked to eat! hopefully i will see her again sometime

that's a giant man.  congratulations.    

Awesome... I hope to catch one like that VERY soon

thanks guys.....i wouldnt have estimated her to be over 9 lbs, but i weighed her twice to be sure and tested the scale with 5 and 10 lbs weights, so i can assume its accurate. the weather was hot as crap and really windy, and my sunglasses broke after being on the water about 10 minutes, so i really didnt think it was gonna be a outstanding fishing day. i just wish this wouldve been my sons fish instead of mine, but he'll be outfishing me soon enough.

Congrats on the hawg  

nice fish

Sweet fish and an awsome looking spot!

Great fish  

Was your son excited? He looks to be fishing pretty hard to match yours.

yeah he was pumped. he really did a great job, and considering we were out for about 4 hours, he did great. no bass for him, but he hooked into a massive gar and got it up to the boat! shocked me he was able to get it in. he did have other bites, but takes time to get your hook set down.

i have already told him i would get a replica for him if he catches a 10lber, and he is set on it. he cant wait to go again!
