Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted October 28, 2011 Super User Posted October 28, 2011 It's been a while since I've been able to do much fishing. Work has been getting in the way of all of my fun. With all the water pouring in down here lately though, I figured I'd walk out back and make a few casts. Apparently the local Peacock population is getting larger and healthier here. Won't be too much longer until I'll be chasing a state record in my little rock pit... I didn't put her up on the scale, but I'd wager she was pushing my personal best or more. Stripped drag all over the place. Was only hooked by the thinnest little piece of skin on the top lip. The hook pulled out right as I lipped it. Lucky. Not too shabby for a quick break from doing some afternoon work around the house. Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted October 28, 2011 Super User Posted October 28, 2011 Not shabby at all SoFlaBA. Very nice indeed. I never had the chance to catch one, but they look like they put up one heck of a fight...Man, look at the shoulders on that thing! Congrats, man! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 28, 2011 Global Moderator Posted October 28, 2011 Man I'd love to catch one of those things! Congrats! Quote
