Here she is-




First fish of the morning- caught her on a 6th Sense custom painted square-bill with a bluegill color scheme. I never turned the handle once- the second the lure hit the water right against some cattails she smashed it! She put up an amazing fight and was pulling drag. I knew from the huge splash that she made when she inhaled the bait, and the powerful run, that this was a really good fish. But when she came out of the water shaking that huge head, I knew she was the one I've been looking for all these years.

Caught her in a private lake near Henderson that is part of the Private Water Fishing Club. Water temp was 62 degrees.

This first one only took me 23 years so I better get going on the next one! Hopefully it won't take so long... grin

We threw frogs and got a couple of swirls but no takers. Bluebird skies killed it yesterday. This was the only big fish we caught all day.

She was 26" long and 20.5" in girth. Weighed exactly 10.25 on a Boga Grip.

Released unharmed to fight again another day....
