BigFish Personal Best!

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! Not bad on topwater!! The canal and I are getting along fine! Last place I ever thought I would get a PB?!

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!

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!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Congrats Larry,

And as stated above, you make that 30-pounder look like a 12 pounder ... nice catch.
