I remember when lakes in Texas used to produce fish like that. Maybe if they hadn't killed all the grass at fork, we could still produce giants like that.

Lake Dixon I bet. Small lake that has produced giants.

Caught on one of Mickey Ellis's glide baits you've got to take out a loan to buy.

I can't imagine what it would feel like when you first pulled a fish like that out of the water.

It's one of those fish that is so damn big it looks fake. Congrats to the guy. . .I can't even imagine what one of those tanks feels like at the end of your line.

Caught on one of Mickey Ellis's glide baits you've got to take out a loan to buy. Which of his lures is considered a glide bait? I saw the soft lures and hard baits and was confused about which is a glide bait.

From what I can tell it was a prototype bait he calls the 316 Kokanee Glide. Not 100% sure, just going off what I see on social media.
