I have posted most of these pics before, but for those of you that have not seen them because of my sarcastic thread tittles I am re posting them with a serious title.

My buddy caught this one on my rod, I was nice enough to let him take a run and this is what he got, 6'7" long and about 130#'s


I caught this one in the Sabine River near Longview last year, it was right at 6' and I guess around 95-100#'s.



I caught this one near carthage in the Sabine River last August, it was over 6' and I guess around 100-110#'s, I was taking a nap when this fish ran off with my bait, nearly kicked my rod out of the boat getting up. I was fishing alone so I had to land this critter alone. Fun stuff!



This is another fish I caught out of the Sabine last august near carthage, within 300 yards of the boat ramp. I caught it the same day as the one above, and this fish nearly beat me, but I finally got her landed. This one was also a little over 6', the rod in the picture is 6.5'. She had a girth of 32.5", and I estimate her at around 100#'s also. All of the fish pictured here were released to fight again.




I am usually off on Mondays every week, anyone interested in splitting expenses and taking a shot pm me, I get tired of fishing alone and not getting to be in the pics of my fish.

River monsters! Glad to see they get released, too.

WOW! What do you do with them after you catch em? Are they good eatin?

Nice fish Dawson! I'm after one of those this year.

Huge fish, congrats.

Wow! I would love to hook into one of those. I have caught a few on lake austin and they smell like a septic tank! I have always wondered - Do the big ones really smell bad too?

Great fish!!! Where do you normally put in and is the river still high enough to run a boat right now? We were trying to decide where to run lines this weekend.

Wow those are huge. How long did you have to fight them for?

Holy sheep chit batman.

Man, I would love to catch one of those.

I grew up in Carthage/Deadwood area...Sabine can be a great place to catch those monsters...Spent many a day on that river. Great place and great pics!!

No the river is not high enough to run full tilt unless your in a big hole and know it well. It is just about bottomed out.

Where do u usually put in when u go?

Depends on water levels

I started fishing Sabine last year and usually put in at lakeport or grand bluff never caught a gar just some cats under 5 pounds. Man I'm gonna have to get with u. I got a 14 ft flatbottom with 25 horse and sometimes have Mondays off
