Hey Shane,

I'll bet you could catch a HUGE Bass with this Rattler.

That is crazy!!!!

You are my new fishing hero.That's awesome

Nice Job!

Great story and pics! That is just awesome!

cool

good storie

that is awsome

Thanks, RodFather.

Both of these LMBs were double digit bass and would have easily overtaken the current Brazos River Water Body Record of 9.67 lbs. that has stood since 1987. The top fish missed the Texas Catch and Release State Record by 1/2 inch, at the time it was caught.

Both bass were captured in extremely remote locations of the Brazos. Taking the fish to certified scales would not have been an option, since it would have prohibited a healthy release.

Truth is, in over 20 years of fishing the Brazos, I never started catching big bass like these until I began stalking them out of a kayak.

dude i am amazed by your antics. keep it up!

Heck, with a rattler that big...

I guess I could starve it for a couple of months, then tail hook and toss it in the river to see what kind of bass she'd swallow.

That's crazy and cool at the same time. That snake would be really dead before it got near my boat.

all i can say is awesome....once in a lifetime

Wow, that was awesome! Congrats!

THAT IS SOOOOOO COOL!!!!!

Man Shane that is priceless. Never a dull moment with you brotha.

looks like a photoshop fake to me.

Now that is awesome. way to go man!

I know for a fact that I WILL NEVER EVER catch a bass using that technique.

That's too cool Shane. You really ought to consider sending those photos and your write up in to TF&G or even Bassmasters.

Very NICE!!! I woulda loved to have the skin off that rattler tho
