The fish on Texoma was much larger.

My son videoed the majority of it and the video is 7 minutes long. He choked down a baby bass colored paddle tail worm. Caught a 45# catfish on a deep crank in a private community lake, probably fought that one for about 5 minutes. Also choked the lure.

You couldn't see them but if you threw a tiny Fle-Fly at the right angle and really super slow the FFly would sometimes go under their armpit fin and lodge the hook in the soft spot. Usually took about 15 minutes before they figured out anything was going on then all hail would break pose for another 30 minutes. Most in the 5-6 ft length and every now and then we would land one on 6 lb test. Saw my brother hook himself in the nose with a slab in freshwater and I think he fought himself for about 3 hours before the ER removed it.
