The pond we fished today has been beconing us for weeks now. John (rippin lips) and myslef answered the call for what we hoped would be an amazing outing, from 5:30 until 2pm. Water temps started out @ 62* and rose to 67* by the end of the trip. Up until about noon time we had only caught a half a dozen fish, that we worked extremely hard for. The largest fish went about 2 1/2 lbs. We ran into Stratos and Canalrat while there and they weren't having much luck either and desided to pullout and try another body of water. I'm guessing it was about an hour later I make a blind cast to open water. John is preoccupied doing his own thing. I'm hung up on a stump and decide to bust Johns butt and make out like I'm hooked up with a moster. For the first 5 or 10 seconds or so I think john's convinced I got a good one HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!! I am hooked up with a pig! I'm am completely flabbergasted and stunnned. John's now trying to do his best to lip her for me, after a few breif moments of severe anxiety from the both of us, he hauls her a board with an amazed look on his face and then makes sure I'm aware of her size "THAT"S A BEAST" :metal: She hits the scale at 7.4lbs of happiness! Gotta love getting the new Legend and then landing a hawg/new PB with it two days later! I've been extremely lucky/blessed this year, and can only hope it never ends.

Always enjoy fishing with you John, you're good people! Thanks for pulling her aboard and I look forward to the next trip!

Thanks for letting me checkout the war club Richie, it's definately a must have. It was also great to finally meet the both of you in person.

Great catch! did you see my post?? http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1253123267  Did you catch the 7,4 at the same pond as the 4 pounders? The traffic has kept me off there lately.

I'm about to check out your post/PB.

The PB and 4+'s were caught on different bodies of water

Awesome fish!!!!!!!!

Very nice!!  Nothing better than when a "snag" starts to run.  

Awesome fish congrats!

Congrats on the PB. That is a hawg! I like the colors of those fish. There are definitely bigger ones in there.

Congrats, you got my pb beat by 2 1/2 pounds.

Congrats on the PB Paul!  Looks like you've been on 'em pretty good lately.  

That is a PIG. Way to go man. Is that a 3:16 Rising Sun swimbait that you are using? How do you like those baits?

Thanks buddy! How ya been?

Yeah, I've been somewhat blessed this year. Got into them good on Sunday as well, We got 25+ LM all on 7" Slammers and Rago Rats. A busy busy day for sure. Not a ton of giants, most in the 2-3lb range with my big fish of the day only going 3.8lbs. But my friend John got one of the biggest 4.9lb LM's I've ever seen. I thought for sure she'd weigh more than that.

With the predicted cloud cover and rain for this coming weekend, we'll be hawg hunting once again.

Yes it is. It's the top hook/weighted version. Banged them pretty good w/it over the past 3 months, as well as losing a giant on it in the -8-10lb range during a night trip :'(  Can't wait to p/u the new Freestyle! Should be out within the next week or so.
