  • Landed this giant earlier this week. The one that finally didn't get away. Was so heavy it bent the handles of the scale as I was taking the reading and I completely forgot to measure the girth. I have no idea if the weight is right, but between 88-90 is the last thing I saw before the scale began collapsing under weight and I set it down. The mud made it very difficult to weigh.

    I moved from Illinois to Florida to be with family because i left at 18 to find work, and because i was offered a job i couldn’t refuse, when i lived in Illinois i lived off a branch of the mississippi, we never had giants we just had tons of small ones, biggest one i’ve ever caught was a 31 pound blue, but here in florida i like fishing at a lake behind my house, but it’s a bass lake, we have 13-15 pound bass, but we only have small little 5-7 pound catfish, so keep up the awesome works and tight lines.

      UltimateHookset Bass aren’t my cup of tea haha, they’re a little too finicky, they’re such picky eaters and all there is in this lake is huge bass and small catfish, the bass won’t eat anything besides a black beaded trick worm, and the catfish won’t eat anything besides cheese and bread dough, so it makes fishing hard because with Covid everywhere has been sold out of Strike King worms, so i’ve been left the past two weeks sitting at home wishing i was in my boat fishing.
