I got caught one at Lake Texoma. It was quite the fight and I was impressed with pulling the fish from 80 foot down.


That would be quite the rush. Caught a good one recently on Lake Erie (where they call them sheepshead) and the pull was different than others I've caught locally. I chalking it up to the bigger water. Possibly your experience too. What size tackle were you using?
