Finally! I have been a while trying to set a new personal best and this morning was the morning! 32 pounds on a new larger size "Blitz Seeker" I have been trying out.....with great success thus far! Fish was 43 1/2 inches long!:btu: Not bad on topwater!!:happy: The canal and I are getting along fine! Last place I ever thought I would get a PB?!

WOW... what a very nice fish Larry:claps::claps:congrats

top water. sweet. come on give us the story. it musta been something to see her hit that.

Not much to tell........she gave it a hard smack and missed it....came back around and smashed it and she was on! Good fight......I just kept thinking "Give me this fish!" Fortunately I got a good set with the belly treble right behind the jaw. I had a feeling it was a new PB but wanted to see it on a scale before I got too happy! Thanks to Professor Moriarty, Afterhours, JohnR and Slingah for making it fun this am! Had alot of laughs to boot!:rotf2:

Chris.....funny all the fish I got this am came on Bunker colored plugs! And I threw a few different colors! Took fish on the "Prey", 2.5 oz. pencil, 1 3/4 oz pencil and the big "BS"! Strange!

You're right, Mike - in situations like that I'd recommend that new PhotoShop plug-in called Spot-Blocker (TM)

Actually, it's another product from CraftCo industries :hihi:

I'd do a little demo here but I've gotta run out for eels before the shop closes :ss:

Maybe a little later....

Good to hear Lawrence. Got to black out those photos, but that is not where he caught it. It is a set up to steer you to the wrong place. He is such a fibber. He was fishing rubber or metal I think.:scream:
