Few months back i landed a fairly large LMB out of Mcneely but didnt have a scale nor tape to measure it. Decided to let her go after pictures and was pretty excited about my fluke catch out of a crap lake.
Few days ago i decided to try that spot once again between rain storms as its the closest, easiest access spot that produces at least a fish or two most days.
I fished the log i caught the big girl at every angle i could with no hits on anything i tried. After a few minutes of that i looked to my right at another set of logs and saw a big swirl near a grassmat but figured it was just a mcneely carp i see often there. I ended up working some logs left of the swirl and worked my way over after a few casts with a zoom black ruby baby brush hog. Worked it very slowly with long pauses. About 2 feet behind the log and 3 feet in front of the grass mat, the line ended up slowly walking to where it looked as if current could be the culprit. Every pro ive ever heard in my countless hours of youtube videos trying to learn this sport has all said one thing for certain, when in doubt set the hook. So i did.
Long winded but this is what it produced. Im beyond certain its the same girl i caught few months ago. This time she came home with me. 20.5" long. 6" from back to belly. 4lb 6oz and absolutely beautiful.
