Thank you sir! It's about time I win one battle. I have had a lot of big fish hooked this year only to have em bend the hook out,break off,or do that top water dance and spit out the hook at me. I had about an eight pound bass that I fought the other day and after thinking I was going to win it made it's farewell upper water dance and spit out the hook. If I had a quarter for each time that has happened to me I would be a rich man. Yes Sir it was super nice to win this battle. Like I always say. "Keep fishing and good things will happen"!



Side Note: Keep in mind I am rigged for small Sunfish and not for "MEGA BASS".

As always you guys seem to find the HUGE FISH and this is no exception. Super fish of a lifetime Chuck and Congratulations on catching an AWESOME FISH!




Side Note! Wall Hanger for Sure!

Damn Banker!!!...That is a huge fish! Congrats!!!

Very proud for you Chuck! That is great!!!

Thanks Curtis,"Urban Fisher",and Mark for the replies. It has been a pretty good year so far for catching some nice Bass. Hopefully we can get a few more.

Great catch

OOOOHHHH My! Banker I think you got this fishing thing down pat.Let's take a quick analyasis here. Largemouth bass, easily the most sought after gamefish in texas. The Guadalupe river, a major river in one of the largest states in the USA.This is an extremely difficult record to break. I'm thinking there have been millions of lines in the water for eternity to set the current record.This is what Chuck does when I don't check in here at the bluegill/sunfish section for a week.If there is a 3 lb redzilla out there they better hide good cause Chuck happens!

Thanks "fishrfoods",and "GT" for the replies. "GT": The main two things about fishing are being at the right place at the right time along with a lot of luck. I love catching the Sunnies however every now and then I get a HUGE surprise. It's great living the dream!

That's crazy good living Banker!

Yep! Can't wait until I can retire. Looks like it will be awhile.

I'm with you Laker. I want to get retired , not just tired.

Wow, I can't even imagine catching a fish half that size on my UL gear. Very, very nice--and congrats on the record!

I know the feeling. The problem I have I am still way to young. Oh well gives me something to work for.

Thanks "Shawty" and "Slimy Hands" for the replies! "Slimy Hands": Yes Sir that was on fight I will never forget! Curtis and "GT". Hopefully one of these days down the road you guys can start living the dream! Remember "Hard work pays off"!
