AZ8 Report post Posted March 4, 2014 Nice fish! Man, I used to enjoy catching those fish! Some of my best memories fishing as a young kid. Here I am, mid-1970's at my favorite bluegill hot spot! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naturegirl Report post Posted March 4, 2014 I'm no longer a kid and still loving catching them. In my book any fish is better than no fish and it's a monster! I couldn't help but think wow this guy actually is letting his picture be posted so we can all enjoy his record breaking fish! Great catch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't help but think wow this guy actually is letting his picture be posted so we can all enjoy his record breaking fish! Great catch! from what I understand is that this guy is a bass fisherman. He wasn't targeting panfish. But with a fish this size, anything goes. And it's size is due to eatting quags. I hear there also gettin close to being this size at pleasant. So, I imagine it isn't a real secret and dude isn't giving away any secrets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
couesmagnet Report post Posted March 4, 2014 I would rather catch that jumbo flat iron, than a 12 pound bass. What a fish!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

idgaf Report post Posted March 5, 2014 I would pass on the 12# lb for that fish. I could make a weeks worth of fish taco's from that guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
