12.5 lbs last June. I caught it on a Mepps #3 silver with white skirt.I could take my fist and make a circle in her mouth and not touch!!!28.5 inches long.Took pictures and released her.My wife and buddy looked at me like I was crazy.She just came off the nest and her tail was red.If her belly was full of eggs she might of hit 14 lbs. I had another fish in the same lake the year before that broke brand new 17 lb. test line at the reel and at the bait. I was trying to hand my pole to me son so he could reel it in and BOOOOM....line snapped.It sounded like a 12 gauge going off.I have caught several 6-7 lbs. back when I was young and fished 8 days a week!!!
