Lake Altus Hybrid

Well, my daughters birthday party today so I didnt get to venture out. But my uncle went with another buddy. This hybrid was caught from the bank and if I told you it was on 6lb test, you probably wouldnt believe me,but it was and took 45 minutes to land. 32 inches long my scale said just over 16lbs, the bait shop said 17lbs. Guess I will get out and go tomorrow, from the looks of the picture I should just mow some weeds in my yard. Before photoshop is brought up, i have it on my computer but dont know how to use it,

screw the weeds. where there is one there's more. that's a hoss

Bryon you should have gone on that trip. What a fish! Hope Capn Steve sees that 16 or 17 pounder! Makes his 23 pounder look little. LOL

Great fish - - congrats to your uncle (or his buddy)! You forgot to tell us which TNT model it was caught on

Holy Moly WOW that is a monster....

nice fish!

Bryon, congrats to your uncle. That's a fish of a lifetime. It would be on my wall. Landing it on 6lb. says a lot about the fisherman. What a pig!

I wish I could say it was on a TNT bait,lol. But this fish fell victim to just a 1/4oz curly tail chartreuse yum flavored. Fish was caught in less than 3 ft of water. My uncle is a pretty good fishermen with the jig. We were out last weekend fishing the same spot, he spanked me pretty good. He has been trying to target walleyes and has been catching some. The last few days he had been seeing large splashes in shallow, so he had been pretty sure there was some monster hybrids in shallow. I guess he was right. Hopefully I can run across its twin today.

WOW!!!! He is a good fisherman to get that in on 6lb line.

Congrats and I hope you get the rest of that hybrids whole family

WOW what a hog, as you may have guesed I still want to
come over there if I get a chance, but it will be a while, went
to Heart Dr Monday for a stress echo test, and he evidently
didn't like what he saw, ambulanced me to the hospital and
installed another stent, so I will be taking it easy for the
spring looks like. Howeve don't let that bother you, go ahead
and catch em so you can show me how.

Nice porker!!!!!!!! Heck with chores!!!!!!! Just kidding. What a battle on that light tackle it had to have been. What is the line record for that lake and species? Odds are it now has been reset.

Mow some other time, jgb. With fish like that up in the shallows, its time to go "wallow with those hogs."

Nice hybrid!!!!!

Great fish. Congrats to your uncle.

WOW! AWESOME fish!

And on 6lb test? That's pretty incredible! My favorite kind of fishing, big fish on small line. Congrats!

Man! You weren't kidding about the fish up there!!!

WOW nice weeds..

and what a fish !!!!!

WOW!!! Very nice fish indeed and what a fight it put up!

and

Well wasnt able to get any other family members from that fish on Sunday. We did manage some nice sandies and a couple hybrids to 19 inches. Had a couple break offs in the trees in shallow. Been birthday partying all weekend in between. Well then making slabs when I should have been sleeping, . I guess I get to try and harvest my front yard tomorrow.

Nice Fish Unc!!!

Man I need to get over there. Tell your unc nice fish. My old buddy been camping there 2 weeks before spring break and came home right after.He was a fella and wife in a motorhome and old beat up tracker boat. Said he got blown off lake most days

I dont think I have ever seen David smile that big.....and the hog is blocking part of the view!!!

I think you just gave away our secret "honey hole" Bryon. LOL

Great fish!!

Scott

great googly moogly...what a pig!!!

WOW!!!!! Impressive

You just made my day. I am fishing that lake May 20-27th. I didn't know they had anything like that in there.

Cool, then you will like these, they came at the end of May a few years ago. It was tough getting on the big fish last year with the rapid rise in the water levels. Hopefully you have a good time on the lake, the shad population is in great shape, fish are healthy than I can remember then. These were caught over a large hump on the lake, first one was trolling a big crank bait the rest on slabs. Since I cant seem to find time to fish lately I enjoy just looking at pics. Man that was a fun day, these fish along with a couple more came in less than an hour.

That is a nice fish, I caught first hybrid of any size last week on 6 # line, with a 5 ft. Wally Marshall, Bass Pro Shop spinning reel last Thursday...Took me 20 min to get him in without breaking off. I am hooked on Hybrid fishing!

Come on.......tell the truth Bryan.........none of those fish came from Lugert.........there arent any hybrids in that lake. We just keep a couple fish from Kansas in a cooler and take them out for pics every now and then so Bryan can sell a few slabs. Only tihng in Lugert is a few carp and a couple of catfish.....oh ya........and those fish from Kansas cam trolling umbrella rigs!! Cant catch fish on slabs........just ant be done
