I caught this big girl at a friends pond today on a weightless T-Rig Zoom Original Trick Worm (Green Watermelon). I fought her for a good ten minutes. The combination of 6lb mono and a 6' light/medium action spinning outfit made it one hell of a battle, not to mention the fields of pondweed.
I'm not sure exactly what my friend is doing to grow these hogs, but I think I will recruit him to the PB family and we can pick his brain.
It's an old gravel pit. The forage base includes BG and GSH for sure, but there doesn't appear to be a feeding program.
I'm guessing this fish is between 5.5-6.5 lbs, which is a MONSTER for Northeast Ohio.
How big do you guys think it is? I am fairly new to Bassin' and have never had a scale with me so I have no way of sizing them up other then using the calculators on the internet.
For reference in the second picture the visible portion of my right shoe is 2.5" long.
