Working on the world record Largemouth

Everything is bigger in Texas

Texas Large Mouth

This is a high speed, fast attack, fish critter. =)))) =)))) =))))

It was cought on a buzz bait that was bigger than it was.

My first fish on a new Kistler He69APC......Not..... This fish was cought a few years ago, and I ran across the picture last night. But it was caught on a buzz bait that was bigger than it was.

DR,
That is funny, I'm impressed at the finesse equipment that Texans use to catch such lunkers! I'm wondering what they throw for the really big hogs?
