Giant on the 6th Sense Panorama

[Big Swimbait]

A 16.39 was caught this morning on O.H. Ivie on the 6.5" Panorama in Bluegill.

To me these Texas Bass really put into perspective the SoCal heyday.

 

That Bass wouldn't even be newsworthy in the 90s in SoCal, and I often wonder if the world will ever experience another time like that.   Sadly, I don't think it will ever happen again.

 

That's Josh Jones go to bait over the last year, he talks a lot about the rigging and usage on his social media platforms.   I think Kyle Hall caught that fish though, they were together fishing though.  

 

ETA:  Maybe this is a different Bass because the one I'm thinking about was caught yesterday.

Awesome catch. I will say, that scale looks a little bit familiar.

Anyone know how the panorama was rigged?

He uses the 6.5" Panorama on 6th Sense 1/2 ounce Axle jig head with 6/0 hook.  It's Texas Rigged.

Well they could if the State of California would start dumping thousands of pounds of nursery raised trout into the lakes again. 🤪🤣😂

That’s a GIANT LMB!!

This fish was caught by a guide customer of Kyle Hall, who himself has three Sharelunkers donated. He and JJ were fishing close together and JJ witnessed it.

Yeah I just saw the Sharelunker post about it on facebook.   They're putting that fish in an aquarium.     It was a Legend class fish and the 20th biggest Bass caught in TX.
