G_Money_FL Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 I went out with my brother in the canals in Royal Palm on Tuesday morning. Fishing was good and we each had quite a few nice fish, including a few peacocks. We came to an area where the canal widens into a little lake. There is a dropoff to about 20 feet. That's like an abyss in some of these small canals. I was using a *** bushbug and working the edge of the dropoff when I hooked into this beauty. It was one of the longest fights I have ever had with a bass. It was all I could handle with my finesse rig. When I got her on the scale, it said 7-lbs 5-oz. My PB is 7-lbs 14-oz, but I would swear this fish is bigger. Either way, it made my day. ;D I know you guys up north don't want to hear it, but we quit around noon to take a break from the heat.
