Johnsfolly Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Photos don't do this fish justice. First cast grass carp at Rim Shoals. Would love to say that I caught it. I was tying on a jig when Ham set the hook. I figured it to be between 38 and 42 inches. I knew it was a big fish when Ham said don't worry about the net. It won't fit.

I've been fishing here on the White for the last year and a half and don't remember ever catching a bass. Amazing to see a largemouth pic in the mix. That guy musta been lost. Ham caught 3 or 4 LM's the day I fished with him. Johnsfolly and Terrierman 2

Ham's was a largemouth. Les' may have been a spot. Weather and water were not our friends on Sunday. You can deal with one or the other. Both being bad ran us off the water by 10:30. I landed only five stockers and none of us cracked double digit fish landed. Quillback 1

I’m a little disappointed we didn’t figure out how to photograph it with an object near it to help with scale. I should have thrown the paddle in the water and eased the fish over near the paddle. It was truly a River Monster. Like 40 inches long. As long as my leg ( And I have long legs). That fish scared me because I thought it was s Brown Trout and after a few normal pulls, it smacked like 20-30 yards of line in a run. I was Happy we got to see it. I was Happy we got it boatside. I wish we had a Musky Cradle. Another Story for the Ages. Johnsfolly 1 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish

Just a guess but perhaps the White is warmer now than the tributaries and the bass have figured that out.
