Mitch f Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Finally got a chance to go fishing for a couple of hours. Fishing was a little slow for a while, then hooked up with a big spotted bass on the bigger Hi-Def craw. Turned out to be my personal Best Spot.

Hog Wally Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Nice spot. In more ways than one. Congrats mitch. I've never seen one that big in the meramec watershed. Winter has just started too. What's next ? Mitch f and Smalliebigs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rps Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 My wife, who does not fish, caught the largest spot ever in any of my boats. We were on Broken Bow lake in Oklahoma in the late 70's. I had an old 18 hp Evinrude on the back of a rented boat. We were fishing Texas rigged lizards on a point. I was, literally, casting my bait and hers. She had a pickup in about 20 feet of water and jerked when I told her to do so. She did a great job. The fish would have measured well over 20 inches and I would swear it was between 5 and 6 pounds. At that time, I did not know how close she was to a state record. We already had fish for eating, so we let it go. No pictures, of course. Different world, different time, different results Daryk Campbell Sr, Mitch f, MoCarp and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch f Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 On a different note: I’m very cautiously starting to dig InvzX fluorocarbon line after several people recommended it. It seems very supple for 💯 % fluorocarbon line and has a smooth surface finish, which translates into less heat generated when cinching the knot, therefore no loss of strength. Haven’t broken off any fish yet, but I know it will happen. It’s expensive as heck though. 😖 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillback Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Nice spot! Don't know if you know this, but TW has a sale on InvisX as part of their 25 days of Christmas sale. It's about as cheap as you'll ever find it. Mitch f and evilcatfish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timinmo Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 So here is what you do. Go to TW, buy a gift card which is 10% off, turn around and use the gift card to purchase the line which is presently discounted. Or come see me and we will go out for lunch you can buy.
