A guy I always fish with who's been fishing for 15 years or so went fishing with me. After I caught a few on a jig he tried one ( he never used them before) his PB was about 3 pounds before and soon he caught a 3 pound 4 ouncer then about 10 minutes later this one 6 pounds 8 ounces! He always fishes a highly pressured lake and we went to a electric only reservoir. He told me his wife is going to hate me a trip to BPS is coming he needs more jigs.

Very nice fish man!!!

That is one healthy looking fish! Congrats!

I forgot to tell the best part of the story.  Even doubling his personal best fish he didn't hesitate in putting the fish back in the water, nursing him back to health and letting him go.  It was around 22 inches.  We had him out of the water for maybe 2 minutes just enough for 1 picture a quick measurement and weight and a final look at him.

good to hear,

and that sure is one nice lookin' fish!!!

Nice Fish!!!!!!!!! Very healthy.

That's a pretty fish.

All the fish in that reservoir are really healthy we caught 3 over 3 pounds and that big one.  All together we caught probably 15 or so and only one wasn't legal (over 15) we saw maybe 7 boats on Saturday morning, but only 3 fishing for bass.  This is a quality crappie place.

Nice fish, nice pic.

CONGRATULATIONS!

How many square acres is the reservoir?

I looked on line and can't find out how big it is. I will look at the map they have there next time I go. It will prob be next week I have my anniversary this weekend, 5 years. About 1 billion gallons if that helps it is probally an average of 20 to 30 feet deep. We are 15 feet off of the bank and fishing 20 feet of water with a shelf to 4 or 5 feet off the bank.
