That's a fatty for sure.

I saw a repro mount of the Alabama and World record.  Can you believe 4#-12oz?  :shock:

Lots of crickets...

Up north, lots of worms... :thumleft:  :thumleft:  Not worms in the fish, earthworms for bait!  Down here, well, I don't see to many earthworms!  How about night crawlers?

Here's another that I caught in the same lake about 6 months ago. I caught it on the same plug while fishing for bass.  
It weighed 2 lb 1 oz.  Holding its belly was like holding a baseball...
