Caught him on a zara spook right before it stormed. I managed to find some windows this weekend where it stopped lightning enough to hit the banks of the lake. 6 pounder at 2 minutes in this video: https://youtu.be/q2hU80YqzDYI hooked into one that was bigger but he popped my 15 pound test line. Admittedly, I had the drag set wrong, but still must have been a biggun. Let me know what y'all think! I think this weekend I'll be going up to Nacogdoches and fishing another honey hole I've got there.

Get you some braid. 50lb for what you want to throw topwater spooks, frogs, buzzbaits and worms/swimbaits on. Tie a 15-20lb floro leader on it when fishing the slow baits. I like seguaur invizx or red label. 25lb mono is a waste of time. To heavy to cast well, lots of memory and wont last a long time on your reel. You can use that 50lb braid all year and never worry about it and a 200yd spool of floro for leaders will last forever.

What brand braid do you recommend? I used some cheaper spiderwire stuff and didn't really like it
