ShareLunker No. 443

Caught by James Manasco of Hemphill, TX

February 24, 2008 in Toledo Bend

13.75 pounds, length 27.5 inches, girth 20.5 inches

Bait/Lure: Green six-inch ZOOM trick worm

Water Temp: 55-57

Day of Week: Sun

Moon Phase: F+4

Report said she was spawned out, which goes to show that they have their own rules to spawn by.

Imagine if he caught it a week or two ago.  

Awesome fish.  Would like to start a touney day with that.

That fish was caught in 4 foot as per the report.     Notice that fish didn't follow text book conditions.

Also backs up a few thoughts as the big ones sometimes spawn earlier than some think.

Fish has some great detail and color.    

Thats pretty cool.  Goes to say you really can't judge size by a pic.  I don't even know if I would of guessed 10lbs.

I hope to catch share a lunker #444 next month on Lake Fork!!!

what a beauty   Wish i could catch one half that size

Absolutely proves how deceiving a picture can be  

Man I wish I could of went on to Texas this year.  

Oh well, I guess my share lunker will have to be in the 500's.  ;D

Great fish with outstanding color and markings. Someday I hope to catch something like that!!!
