Facebook comments about this "Big Sam" fish:

Tim Malone: "I wanna know what crankbait he was using at 30 feet. Lol"

Texas Parks and Wildlife - ShareLunker Program: "He did not share that information, but I'm guessing a DD-22"

Tim Malone: "DD-22 won't get down to 30 feet on it's own, neither will a SK 10 XD. Unless it was weighted or long lined, it was more likely a Luhr Jensen Hot Lips or a Mann's 30+. . .but I know a few guys who throw a DD-22 with a weighted hook on the front to get it down there"


Fishing has never been about the fish....
