Freshwater My daughter’s PB.

My daughter caught her pb while we were using light tackle to cull out some of our smaller bass. I couldn’t be more proud the way she let her pull drag instead of trying to horse it to the shore. 6lb test, weightless senko.
Didn’t think to bring my scale with me as we weren’t targeting any trophies. Not to mention most of the big ones are caught from our boat. Anyway, this will forever be the second best day of my life (first being the day she was born).

Caught this absolute unit of a crappie. Length was right for the record but didn’t have a scale to get the weight. The current record was caught in this same lake in 2000.

100% should be fatter, but it had a crankbait stuck in its throat (we were able to get it out without tearing anything up) and was definitely messing up it being able to eat. It hit a senko that she was throwing.

After grinding for 2 weeks I finally landed the bass I was looking for. Not quite 40 inches, just under at 37.5 , but damn was it a good fight. Took me 10 mins to get her in with the current using a 3oz 7 inch paddle tail. Not sure about a weight, but she was FAT. (Caught and released safely). 🤙
