Thread: Woo-hoo, my first 5+ pound largemouth

Stopped at one of the local lakes on my way home from work this morning and caught this big mama. Its was one hell of a battle. I was amazed it even stayed on my little 1/o hook, just barely hanging on to the corner of its mouth. I'm 6'2" - added my hand to the pic for size reference. I don't think I'm going to sleep now - my pulse is still going a mile a minute

Thats a solid fish bud. Great job

^thanks

here's another shot of my baby!
