Congratulations to Clayton aka wildman of the navidad on his pending record Rio Grande Cichlid. The fish was caught on Saturday 10-28-17 and brought to the weigh station this Sunday afternoon. The certified weight of the fish was 1.15 Lbs beating the old record of 1.05 Lbs set back in April of 2006. Paper work was completed and will be sent to the Texas Parks&Wildlife for their review and approval. Again Congratulations Clayton on a super fish and your pending record. Weighing record fish. It just don't get any better!

Great comeback Clayton! Congratulations on your Record Rio!

Congrats on your record!

Way to go Wildman ! Great catch !!

Man, you have the touch Clayton, Congrats

What did you catch it on?

Thanks chuck jamie leo doc and rwcat i caught on a maggot sized piece of worm was just going for a few dinks to try my new rod and pulled that slab out of the bushes the second and the last fish cause i headed straight for the icebox i will post some better pictures once i get off work thanks again fellas

Congratulations Wildman of the navidad. Nice fish! I have noticed a lot of fishing pressure on that creek. Lot of houses going up in that area. Hope the fishing stays good.

There is a ton of pressure on that creek between springbranch and I-10 i rarely fish it above I-10 not because the fish aren't there more so because someone's usually in your spot or your spot is trashed out if a man can find some where to put in a kayak he could have a field day all the way to the San Antonio

Congrats

I put my boat in there a couple weeks ago at Schaefer. There was not much water and an absurd amount of grass, it was enough to be a problem. Could only make it maybe 1/4miles downstream until it became a "walking"only fishery. I'd like to find an access point with more water to fish that creek.

Thanks fitz and there’s a lot of places south of SA that have a lot more water and quite a few more crossings where Some one could actually paddle somewhere it gets more river like the further south you go....

Great catch, congratz!!

There is a ton of fishing pressure at Crescent Bend. I am surprised that the fishing is still good there!

Sorry for the delay but here are some better pictures

Again nice fish! Congratulations.

Nice hawg Wildman. Congrats!!

Thanks fellas

Just Curious. Anyone still catching Rios off the Cibolo after these latest fronts?

I caught 2 there yesterday am the redbreasts were on absolute fire also but i go all the way to the back of the park away from the rest of the dink chasers

Thanks for the update Clayton! Forecast is saying a major cold front will arrive on Tuesday. Got a feeling winter time patterns will be starting to set in!

Congratulations Wildman of the navidad on your record Rio! Nice fish.




Side Note: I know Chuck has been trying for years to get that record! Good job on finding that nice bull! What was the bait used?

Thanks gitter I know he's been gunning for it for a while the bait i used was an almost non existant piece of nightcrawler I was fishing for dinks at the infamous dink tree and pulled that one out of the hat

Thanks Wildman of the navidad! Bet those creek Rios will be hard to find now after these cold fronts!

Rio's for the most part are done for the year!

how long do they "hibernate"?

They will not come back out until Spring.
