Is this true? The story goes she caught it off a dock at Lake Fork, on a Zebco 33 no less!!!

Cheers,

Yes, this is becoming more and more common as the Bass at Fork are trying to outsmart the fisherman looking for them!

It's a big bass but that bass looks huge in that pic - gosh almighty!

Fishing above Grand Isle, my wife caught a 28lb red fish on a Zebco 808 in the early 80's.

Good for her! I fished that lake all day Saturday and didn't find anything like that. Looks more like Moby Dick!

Now, that's what I call a heck of a catch!! Hope that lady knows how fortunate she was to get an ole' fat belly like that. I've been tryin' to catch one like that for all of my life.

Congratulations to the woman & Great Fishin',

If that would have been me catching a SL off a dock, I would have thrown it back and not said a word or taken a picture, even made dayum sure my neighbors didn't see me do it, too - plumb embarrassing to own thousands of dollars worth of high tech gear and a boat and then have friends know I caught it off a dock...I'd never live that down. Nope, I wouldn't even have posted it, either....
