The Texas Blue Water Classic finally happened this past weekend. One of our own, Mr. Christian Merrick of North Central Texas pulled off a win! He may fill us in on some of the details but, I can tell u he placed in the King Fish division.

I will also say the catching was good for just about everyone last weekend. But, it was especially good for Mr. Merrick. So, congrats to our friend Christian, one of the nicest fellas on the forum. What a catch!!! laugh

I see Prof. Salt (Glenn Madden) a local guy did pretty well himself, but the bite must have been pretty awesome with those results.
Congrats to Christian!...Well done! thumb


Just one more cast!

My longest king fish so far is just under 53".
It pulled so hard and fast I was sure it was a shark during the fight! Mine wasn't near as heavy as yours. Jason said it looked like 2' of it was hanging out of your cooler bag. Wow, what a catch! thumb

Thanks brotha. Yeah, i have a 42" bag. There went all my ice. Lol. I do have to say how cool it was to fish in a tourney with people i watch on videos. For us it was very intimidating. Im just lucky we didnt come in last.
