Well this July has been slow fishing for me but yesterday I nailed a good one! I thought this would be a new PB for me but it weighted exactly the same as the one I caught earlier this year 6.16 Lbs but I will take it! lol I put this fish on a stringer so as to not keep it out of water long and wanted to get get some better pictures than I had quickly taken.The fish wasn't doing real well was turning on its side.At the launch site another fisherman took my pic and fish was better so released it but it came up again so I took it home;thinking about getting it mounted.Caught on a red rattletrap type lure that last month was hooked into my hand.Wish I could say fish was result of skill but this one was luck.I was way off of shore but decide to make a few fan casts anyhow and let this shallow runner sink a bit and was kinda distracted and lost where my lure was at;thinking it may be near to coming out of water I lifted my rod and it got slammed and the fight was on.
