Well, my daughters birthday party today so I didnt get to venture out. But my uncle went with another buddy. This hybrid was caught from the bank and if I told you it was on 6lb test, you probably wouldnt believe me,but it was and took 45 minutes to land. 32 inches long my scale said just over 16lbs, the bait shop said 17lbs. Guess I will get out and go tomorrow, from the looks of the picture I should just mow some weeds in my yard. Before photoshop is brought up, i have it on my computer but dont know how to use it, grin

Bryon you should have gone on that trip. What a fish! Hope Capn Steve sees that 16 or 17 pounder! Makes his 23 pounder look little. LOL

Bryon, congrats to your uncle. That's a fish of a lifetime. It would be on my wall. Landing it on 6lb. says a lot about the fisherman. What a pig!

I wish I could say it was on a TNT bait,lol. But this fish fell victim to just a 1/4oz curly tail chartreuse yum flavored. Fish was caught in less than 3 ft of water. My uncle is a pretty good fishermen with the jig. We were out last weekend fishing the same spot, he spanked me pretty good. He has been trying to target walleyes and has been catching some. The last few days he had been seeing large splashes in shallow, so he had been pretty sure there was some monster hybrids in shallow. I guess he was right. Hopefully I can run across its twin today.

WOW what a hog, as you may have guesed I still want to
come over there if I get a chance, but it will be a while, went
to Heart Dr Monday for a stress echo test, and he evidently
didn't like what he saw, ambulanced me to the hospital and
installed another stent, so I will be taking it easy for the
spring looks like. Howeve don't let that bother you, go ahead
and catch em so you can show me how.

Mow some other time, jgb. With fish like that up in the shallows, its time to go "wallow with those hogs."

Nice hybrid!!!!!

WOW! AWESOME fish!

And on 6lb test? That's pretty incredible! My favorite kind of fishing, big fish on small line. Congrats!
