Nice fish! Congrats

Thanks for tthe pic of tthe hooks. Is the bottom hook smaller or is it just the camera angle?

The bottom hook is smaller. In the picture I used a #2 mustard live bait hook on top and a #4 on bottom. I vary this depending on the species and size fish I am after.

Nice fish. Congrats

Pretty fish!!!

If I may ask, why the smaller hook on the bottom?

I vary the hook size to cover different species and sizes of fish. If I am not getting hook-ups, I will go all the way down to a number 12 egg hook. I also use a similar set-up for shark fishing with 16/0 and 12/0 circle hooks.

Beautiful fish

I've been taking my son fishing and he's learning on live bait and worms and that's a great rigging set up I never would have even considered. Thanks for showing and congrats and that big girl!

How did you go about submitting it? I caught a lake record copper nose the other day and didn't know until afterwards so I will be going back to attempt to do it again. Lol

You can go to the Texas Parks and Wildlife fishing awards and records page to get instructions on how to submit a record.

If you want detailed information of getting different kinds of fishing records you can get my book, The Art of Fishing for Records.
