The lake has come way up in the last few days, several feet, and a front came in yesterday, but I figured I would go anyway. I was flippin the newly flooded timber in about 5-8 feet of water. Visibility was about 6 inches or so. Caught this fat girl on a 3/8 Big O Brush jig from Siebert Outdoors in Falcon Craw with matching Falcon Craw Rage Craw. She was layed up against a huge log. I was immediately hung after the hookset, but I didn't give her no slack and she finally swam out. She weighed in at 8-13!!!! Special thanks to my wife Sarah, who drove the 17 miles to the ramp so I could have a decent picture of my PB!!! The fish was released in good health.

Makeshift stringer, slow ride back to ramp, stopped often to be sure fish was ok. She never showed any signs of dying and swam away strong. I am confident the fish will survive. Now, if it had been August and 90* water temps, I wouldn't have done it.

Congrats, man! That's a hawg! You wonder why I swear by that jig/Rage Craw? That's why!!

GETCHA SOME OF THAT WHY DONTCHA!!! LOL. WTG Cliff, I knew it was only a matter of time before you beat up on a SLOB You're doin exactly what I hoped you would and keep on throwin' at'em pal!

Thanks. That jig IS money. I have plenty to last me the year (I think), it will be the only jig I throw this year. I was hyped, I fished for another hour and called it quits, I couldn't concentrate!! I just wanted to get home and check out the pics. IMO, that is a HUGE fish for Lake Waco, it is certainly not known for being a big bass lake. Hoping I can get a few more in that class this year though.

Cliff

You were DUE Cliff, so happy for you man. That jig'n craw combo is SO DEADLY. Way to go man, and I totally understand just wanting to see the pics!

Oh man, I just caught this thread. WTG Red, I'm soooo happy and jealous of you! congrats bud! I hope they get bigger!

WOW!

Great pic, too!

Great big girl! Outstanding pictures to capture the moment . Don't forget to take your wife out for dinner.

Yeah I will. She didn't think it was funny when I gave her a kiss AFTER I gave the fish a kiss!!!!

Dang Cliff!!! Congrats on that hawg!

dang Red that's awesome man. i never expect to do well after a front, much less think i'll get a pb! guess if on anything, it would be on a Big-O jig. awesome

nothing better then sticking it to a hawg with a full set on a jig
