I’ll give it to Robert Bandy. No live scope, no fancy boat or equipment. Fish wouldn’t even fit in their live well.

Yep. This 16 from EM is more impressive than the same fish from Ivey. Or Fork. This fish shattered EMs record.

Agreed! And Robert hasn't pumped 15 different social media cites full of videos or pictures. Very humble and respectful! Bandy for the Win!

Not 16 but the 15 from Travis was literally 1 in a billion. That place hasn't even pumped out a 11-12 in years

I give it to the EM 16 pounder as well. Just a dude fishing. Man, that is what it is all about.

I'd put the EM 16 and the Travis 15 on the same level. I don't think anyone even believed that those fish were in those lakes. 16 pounds is a great day for me on Eagle Mountain, and I live on that lake. I probably would have thought it wasn't a bass, which is exactly what i did on Rayburn last year. That fish never felt like a bass until it jumped and spit the bait, just heavy and steady pressure. I thought I had snagged a log at first, then a big carp. Still hurts to remember that one.

Unless you're shocking them up with a telephone crank, I couldn't care less whether you used an A-rig, livescope, etc. to catch a 16 lber...lol

They’re all impressive without question. But I’d say catching a 16 pounder on a T-Rig, presumably without live sonar, and beating the lake record by three pounds in the process, is the most impressive.
