Super User rippin-lips Posted August 30, 2014 Super User Posted August 30, 2014 My buddy hit me up to fish after work tonight. Local reservoir that can only be fished from shore and it gets hit HARD. I was fishing from probably the most popular spot too. Felt some weight and saw the line move. Set the hook and started reeling. Realized when it was just my handle turning and not the spool it was a good fish. Then the whoosh noises definitely let me know it was a good one. Made a small jump close to shore and then I landed her. My buddy said that's probably a 5lbr. I told him it's over 6 for sure. I never usually fish wacky but I'm sure glad I did. My Pb thus far is 6.5. That was until tonight. 16 Quote

Super User Darren. Posted August 30, 2014 Super User Posted August 30, 2014 Yeah, I was gonna say - before I saw your scale pic - that your fish was well over 6 pounds, pushing 7 give or take. I'm glad I was close! Big congrats! Quote
Super User Darren. Posted August 30, 2014 Super User Posted August 30, 2014 I always try to carry a scale because sometimes you just never know. Without it I wouldn't of known I have a new Pb now. And it is time to change your "My PB:" description to "Between 7-8 lbs"! Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted August 30, 2014 Super User Posted August 30, 2014 Wow! That's a chunk of a fish! Nice job!! Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted August 30, 2014 Author Super User Posted August 30, 2014 Yeah, I was gonna say - before I saw your scale pic - that your fish was well over 6 pounds, pushing 7 give or take. I'm glad I was close! Big congrats! I was thinking about 7 before I got it weighed. Also hoping because my goal after the 6 was to hit 7. I also haven't caught nearly as many in the 4-5 range this year so it made up for it. I'm just happy I had the scale so I wasn't purely guessing on weight.Thanks everyone once again. None of my friends understand the feeling of excitement you get from something like this. Quote
