Thread: High Rock Slab

I am the guy who caught this great fish. It was caught in Crane Creek. I shot a jig under a pier where I knew that there was brush under it. I began a fast retrieval to try to keep from getting hung up when my line went tight. I thought oh well I guess I got the brush pile. As I pulled a little , I could feel it move so I thought a piece of the brush had come loose so I could pull it in and at least get my jig back. Well she made a splash and then I knew it was a fish. She wrapped the line around the pier post and was close to the top of the water between me and the pier. I knew that if she splashed much that she would break my line. I didn't have much time so I grabbed my net and was able to scoop her in. Just as I did the line broke and the jig fell loose in her mouth. I was just lucky in the right place at the right time. Never did I dream of catching a fish like this.

Congrats and great report on the catch. Thanks for sharing! What a beauty!
