8 3/4 pound largemouth caught today...

I caught a 8 3/4lb largemouth today Jan 16, 2005 on Alltoona using a 10 to 12ft crankbait near kellog creek. I was fishing in 23ft of water; water was 46 degrees. I had caught 4 fish prior to big boy, cranking superfast and stop....superfast and stop.... Then it nailed it... The fish had pretty good color seeing as it is January and this fish is the biggest I have caught ever in my life. It was awesome.... If anyone would like to see a picture of it, please email me at: [email][email protected][/email]... I would love to show it.. Thanks.

P.S. I caught 3 more fish after the big one and each one was around 1.5 to 2.0lb fish using drop shot with a finesse watermellon seed worm.

Cardnut, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Looks like you had a blast! Days like that don't come often. Catching a lunker like that is rare on a big lake. Good for you, thanks for the post.
