ollie Posted July 29 Posted July 29 I saw that article and I knew right away it had to come from Havasu! hasn't that lake already given up a record on Redears? BilletHead 1 "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!

JUNGLE JIM 1 Posted August 20 Posted August 20 In 2015 I fished there with friends and pulled up to a spot early morning just after sunrise. First cast was a nice smallie. Next cast I hooked a giant redear and started ripping drag. When it surfaced buddy said that's a 4#er. Netted it and it started crapping on the deck. No scale in the boat so we put her on ice and fished the rest of the day. We weighed the fish 8 hours later and she weighed 4-09, a post spawn female. Did a length and girth measurement and she was 17.25" long with an 18" girth. Might have been 5# if we weighed fish right away. Definitely longer than this record. Had a replica made. Disappointed when I got it back because replica was only 16". Guess they didn't have a bigger mold. My fish might have been a length record. Next day caught a 3-02 and a 2-07 at that spot. Quillback, nomolites, Ham and 5 others 8
Ham Posted August 21 Posted August 21 I’d be well satisfied with a 3 lber BilletHead and Quillback 2 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
