I love fish like that. That is one of those that jumps and looks big, but not like a PB, but then you pick it out of the water and say "dang she has a little weight on her!!"

yeah those are great... or the ones that don't surface and you say, "yeah, this just feels like one of those little ones that fights really hard."  Then you lip a monster hawg momma and commence with the surprised celebration

My wife caught this beauty today. Altamaha River Jesup, Ga. Stained water, medium to fast current and casting above and letting it float down. Caught with a 7'0 medium to light spinning reel, 12 lb test monofiliment, float with sinker and hook using a worm. What luck........... lol :'( Weighed approx 4 lbs. Length 18 inches from snout to fork....... Approx 6 pm just as the sun was starting to go down is when they were starting to bite.

February 3rd 2007 was a nasty cold morning with Northwest winds at 15-20 mph, a slight misty rain falling, and temperatures in the middle 30's. After having launched out of Jack's 944 Marina I made the short (2 minutes) run to the mouth of Bull creek trying to stay out of the wind and some what warm. Having rounded the corner I dropped the trolling motor, picked up my Rat-L-Trap rod again with the thought in mind of keeping moving and staying warm. My third cast was into the mouth a cut leading to a boat shed which I knew had stumps on the west side, after turning the handle 4 or 5 time my trap stopped solid, I tell Pat d**n to close to the stumps so I push the trolling motor handle towards the mouth of the cut while stepping on the switch. At the exact same instance my line starts zinging towards deeper water rod all bowed up & drag slipping; I immediately scream at Pat get the net. By now the boat is moving off to my left the bass is moving off to my right and I'm nearly on my knees in front of the console with the upper third of the rod in the water. Pat net in hand is now on the front deck killed the trolling motor and with a swift motion netted the hawg; which ends up weighing in at 12 pounds 8 ounces.

Thats one of the best spots in Housen IMHO....
