Wow, a day to remember for sure. I've never had a fish count like that, or an epic BSB battle like that. That's kick ass dude

Nice haul Jeff. Guess it makes up for the 2 skunks.

That's awesome, kudos to you! The biggest blade I've found is only 1 oz, what kind do you have that it is a 2 oz model?

Bummer Jeff....yeah those big butt's are dangerous! It's just so critical to land that gaff shot. If you blow it the fish will let you know as this one did. They'll be another one...glad somebody is catchn'em! ....or hook'n em!

Jeff if you don't already have one, make yourself a stringer out of good quality rope. Don't rely on that game clip for larger fish, they can and will fail on fish of that quality.

i typically fish SDB with one plastic (swim baits or curly tail grubs) on lead-head.
or other times with one spinnerbait rig, at 1 oz, with dual blades.

i'm very curious exactly what you mean, when you say "blades", in your report....

are you referring to a typical spinnerbait, or something else ???

could you please explain more, on your overall rig used, or perhaps even post it in a pic.

thank you.
