personal best board

Post by Welderdude »

hey everyone. thought it would be interesting for people to be able to brag on our big fish. post up a pic or several of your personal best, including at least one of the fish on a hawg trought ( other measuring sticks are fine too ) if you have the weight, put that in too. my personal best ( named her matilda ) came from the bird, measured 27 inches and weighed in a skinny 9# 11 ounces, caught her after she spawned, but man she was HUGE!

Okay, I'll go. Not my biggest redfish ever, but my first and biggest, 28", 9.5 pounds on the boga , on a fly. The whole experience from the stalk, the cast, the take, the fight is something I will never forget.

Now we have this thing going! And yes, it is a bass board, but it's really a BRAG board. Nice fish, gentlemen, and let's see how many more bigguns we can see. How big was that first monster, foreverfishing?

No pics because I caught them over 10 years ago and the pics got lost in a couple of moves, but for a couple of years I had the Lake Fork fly fishing record for largemouth when I caught a 7.95# on a #1 Peck's Popper in Little Mustang Creek. Then two years later I caught a 9# largemouth on the same fly. Two weeks later a guide caught a 9.25# on a fly, so he has the record now.

Hell YES!!!! That fish looked like a rocket. I've got smaller ones that fought like hell, so I know a big one put up a huge fight
