Wow!!!
way to GO!!!
What did it weight??

Awesome fish bud.

Congrats, That is an awesome fish.

She weighed a wee bit under 14. She was 25 inches long with a 21 inch girth. I was fishing a yo zuri flatcrank in about 4 feet of water around some logs and hydrilla when it felt like i had reeled into a brick. I thought she was a catfish, but then i saw her rear her huge head and I freaked out. A truley amazing fish. She will live to bite another lure too . A couple guys fishing around me were baffled at why I let the fish go. I hate seeing trophy fish getting killed. heh.

WOW,

you had the 4th Share a Lonestar Lunker program fish and you let it go!
Free fiberglass replica and the bass goes to the state for a year to be bread out to make little lunkers. Then the fish is turned back over to you, for what ever you want with it.

This program is only for fish 13 lbs or larger

wow that is an awesome fish

Congrats. on an awesome catch.

man, pictures dont do him justice. It was such a huge fish, I hope i can catch another one sooner or later. You guys wont belive it, but he was caught on a 2 acre private lake. 5 years ago, there was a fish kill from lack of oxygen, and we collected over 600 pounds of dead bass and catfish from my lake. Then, a year later I started fishing another 4 acre private lake and started transfering 4,5, and 6 pound bass over into mine. i'm guessing that this one is a transfer fish.

Geez thats a huge fish, congrats. 2 acres huh? Thats awesome that a fish like that came out of something so small.

i'll take a picture of the lake, it might even be less than 2 acres but its legendary for its fish.

So That Fish Was NOT Caught Recently ? ?

that fish was caught this morning.

Ohh, So What Fish Was Caught 5 yrs Ago ?

My pond suffered a very, very bad fish kill and i caught fish from another private lake five years ago, and transfered them to this lake in my back yard. This is more than likely one of those fish i transfered.
