Heart Breaker

[JUNGLEJIMJIGS]

Got out yesterday and fished a local river. Started out good with several nice Kentucky bass up to 3# and a couple big whites followed. Bass were caught on a 1/4 OZ Manic Mullet head rigged with a 4" Keitech. Whites on a 3/32 fox hair jig. I saw a big swirl and pitched the Keitech out and didn't even have the bail closed when this monster hybrid hit, turned and took off across the river. Almost spooled me before I turned it and started to gain some line back. Finally, after maybe ten minutes I had him close with the net at my side. Fish turned and the hook came out. This was my dream fish, easily 15 lbs, maybe more. 10# braid held but fish did a number on the VMC 3/0 hook. Still shaking, this would have gone on the wall.
