Still a few giant stripes left in Cumberland

Got this pig yesterday slowly jiggin a Flitter 4 off 15 ft mud bottom creek channel. Measured 39" and my scale went slightly over 30 but I never lifted completely off the ground for fear of dropping it. Released to provide the next lake record hopefully. Love those flitters! Don't let muddy water scare you....as my friend said...they gotta eat. Not sure I am posting these pic's right but will give it a shot.

Very nice WTG

Very nice fish sir. That is a HOG!!!

very nice, that picture reminds me of the early nineties on Cumberland. I hope they get that lake back to where it was before they worked on it. I never fish it any more, but pictures like that will make me think about it again.

Nice!
Big ones are hard to come by these days but they are there.

Well done and it looks like you're going to need a bigger net...

Lol, we said the same thing when we saw it. Only half of it fit in it. One of many pucker moments until it was in the boat.

Way to go Larry! That's a catch of a life time for most people. It must have taken a lot for you to let it go, but that fish just might give another angler a thrill of a life time. It's good to see LC coming back.
