Wow what a day. Well I spent the night at my friends house and only brought 2 rods my ultra light, and my flippin stick. Well I caught some fish earlier in the day on my ultra light with a 2.5 inch repala floating minnow but I wanted a big one .So I started to set up my flippin stick for live bait ( I Know but I wanted a monster) so I caught some shiners and first cast I landed this monster she was 25.5 inches long and 18.5 inches girth. I didn't have a scale so I don't know how much she weighed. The fish calculator said 11.7 but I don't think she was that big , but probably double digits. Give me your thoughts on size. Thanks. My flippin stick is 7 ½ foot heavy action with a citica with 50# braid and she ripped me I didn't think they would fight so hard.

NICE FISH>

Ill say 8 pounds but pictures cant justify your catch.

Nice fish!! .... I would guess between 8 and 9 pounds.

What a toad!!  That fish is easily 8lbs if not more.  There is definetely a chance that you have yourself a double digit there.  You can never truly tell unless you were there.  From my experience, the measurements give you a pretty accurate weight.  

Again, congrats on that pig!!

Nice fish dude!

very nice fish man.  nothing wrong with using live bait for a biggun - it works.  congratulations.

Nice fish dude

yeah the pictures don't do her justice. I'm 6'1 255 so it makes the fish look smaller

7.5 - 8.5

but then again what do i know??

Nice fish, congratulations!
