This weekend I had a great time battling this killer bass.. I was out for 4 hours fishing and this was the ONLY fish I caught..
I got him on a green and yellow kreature bait finessing it through the water near an area where there was a deep drop off from the shore.
He put up one hell of a fight, I had a medium heavy berkley rod with 8lb test line.. This guy was freakin me out because the rod was at a full U-bend and it was starting to creak like it was gonna snap.. I got this sucker up to the shore and just as he came out of the water he thrashed and snapped the line..
I was shitting myself, and just as I was about to panic he opened his huge mouth and I reacted with split second decision and I reached down into the water and stuck my hand in his mouth and yanked him out of the water and ran away from the shore with him so there was no chance he could get away again..
I needed to hold him with two hands at one point because he was thrashing so hard.. Here he is, hope you enjoy! I'd say it was at least 8-10lbs because of the length and the very large girth..
