I recently had some work done on my outboard motor so I took it to Keystone yesterday just to run it a little and make sure everything was working as it should. On the way back to the ramp I stopped at a windy point and made a few casts with a chrome Rattle Trap. I got two hits. One I lost at the boat and it was huge. The other one I landed. I put it on the ruler on top of my ice chest with the tail pinched together and the nose just edged over the 18 in mark. It was so full and fat it almost looked deformed. I had no way to take a picture so I returned it to the water. I am certain it was a sand bass and not a hybrid or striper. I guessed the weight to be around 3 lbs or a little over. What do you guys think?
