I'm getting SOOO close to that 5Lber. I had a monster bite before this one that I ended up losing because he swallowed soooooooo much vegetation when he hit my lure that there was no way my hook was going to stay on all the way to the bank. I was really bummed but seeing this guy calmly swallow my entire lure made it okay!
I'm going back on a kayak with a scale this weekend and I hope I can finally (officially) hit that 5lb milestone. Wish me luck guys!
Caught in NY on a 3.8" Keitech Swing Impact on a belly-weighted 5/0 hook.
