Bird Watcher Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Freakin Awesome! Caught it on a jig with about 10' of line out. She ruined my reel. Somehow while stripping drag, she damaged a bearing or the worm gear, thank goodness for braided line. Didn't have any scales and looking back on it, I was so worried about getting her back in the water after my buddy took these pictures(I had to wait while he deleted pics from a full memory card) that I didn't even think to measure her. The second biggest largemouth of my life. Only being beaten by an 8.25# that came out of a farm pond. My buddy guessed 7.5, but I think he gets the "big eye". I think closer to 7#, but he says I never estimate them high enough. So, who knows..it doesn't really matter, what a beautiful fish and one I'll never forget.

Bird Watcher Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Good to see some posts on Grand. I dont know why it isnt posted more. Nice fish. What area? Yeah, I know Denjac. I live in Goodman and it is definitely the closest lake for me to fish. I have been fishing a lot of mid lake stuff. Mostly from Sailboat down to the mouth of Duck Creek. I don't get to fish much during daylight hours due to work and family, I have been going mostly in the evenings and at night on the weekends. This fish (and some other good ones) was caught in the mouth of Horse creek. The best bite for us has been after midnite the last two Fridays.

ollie Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!! I've seen some monster bass in Grand lately, glad you hooked into one of them.
