Plus 5 or 6!!!!! Lmao

I had many on at Fork over the nearly 30+ years I fished it. From the time it started filling. Finally about 3 years ago I caught a 10.5. I have had bigger ones on. But, I was proud to accomplish it. Keep after it. And, fish lakes that have the potential for them.

I know I had one last summer...or felt like it....set the hook and never got a crank on the reel...tore prob 50ft of drag before wrapping me up in a bush on a shallow ridge..so far i'm at 8.4. Wanna break that so bad!...I guess I need to tell the wife to let me go fishing more than twice a month!...LOL!

Don't laugh now, but i've been stuck at 7.1 since I was 13.... I'm 29 now.... Haven't given up by any means, it WILL happen. At least I hope so lol

+1 LMAO

I'm now 67 years old and thanks to a good deal of time with Danny Golden this spring I finally at age 66 managed a 10# even. One more thing crossed off the bucket list. Keep pluggin' or wormin' or both. It'll come.

I didn't have one until this year, and I caught two of them in 9 days. It will happen.

Last one I caught was in 1997 on Fork...10.19..... Since then..a bunch over 9, but no more 10's

I consider the 23 7/8" , fat like a foot ball that I caught about 8 years ago in Glade as my PB. Having handled many overs on the live release boat for the last 11 years it was probably an 11 1/2 (dreamer) but no scale in the boat and to short to bring in.

I have caught 3 upper 9's in three different states. And on this past Thursday I had a monster on that straigtened the front hooks on my Sammy.

Had another sure over on a yellow magic and the net man knocked it off. Broke off a really big one about 7 years ago at Lake Quitman.

Oh yeah and bedfishing the 17 lber (the guide said) on a shiner at Rodman in Florida about 13 years ago broke 25 lb test. The female I caught was over 8.

Fork is great because you have so many opportunties to get that 10 plus. All you need is a little luck at that very moment.

Something that I don't seem to have most of the time. I like catching 7 & 8"s. But that real honest to goodness weighed on a certifide scale 10 has eluded me forever it seems. And like propman says "I ain't getting any younger" there junior.

I caught a 10.3 on a buzzbait in a tournament this year at Hubbard Creek and caught a 10.1 on Roberts 6 years a go in july.

My first was 10.02 on Ray Roberts March 1992.
Six over 10 since .

Someone can fish once and catch a 15 and people can fish there life and never catch a 10. Its just part of the game we play.

If you want do some research and put yourself in the best places at the best times.

Just a hunch, but there are a few guys on just a few lakes that catch several double digits each year... a trip with them might get your odds to go WAYYY up.

Hey Don't give up I went from 9.5 to 13.1 SHARALUNKER It just takes that one cast and little open water and you'll be there too.

Barrett, I fished for over 30 years before I got my first DD. You aren't even 30 yrs old, so don't rush it. It will happen when you stop putting emphasis on it. A 10lber is hard to get. A lot more fisher people don't have one as compared to those who do......

Good 10lber fishin,
Okie

Listen to Tom. There are lots of guys on here that brag about all the DD's they've caught that have never even seen a DD other than in the tank at Bass Pro.

Keep on plugging. It'll happen.
