Thought I had an upgrade.

Went out and braved the 25-35mph winds on Wednesday and thought I had an upgrade for the big bass contest for a minute. I pulled one of my homemade chatterbaits through a brushpile and she knocked slack in my line. It was at the end of a long cast and she rolled on top right away but all I saw was a big white belly, thought it was a catfish at first Then her big head and huge mouth came sloshing out of the water and I thought she might go 7 Once I finally got her in hand I knew she wasn't long enough, though she certainly had the girth she would have needed if she'd been a couple inches longer. It was a great numbers day, ended with 106 fish on the day, however she was one of only 3 fish I caught that went bigger than 15".
21.5" and 5.68lbs, she had an 8-10 inch spotted bass tail sticking out of her throat.
