I too fished in the kayak tournament this past weekend on Bledsoe. I was fortunate to land my personal best largemouth. After I set the hook I thought I was reeling in a log…then it moved to the left. When I continued to reel in I thought I caught a drum, but then she surfaced. I wanted to jump out and tackle her to ensure I get her in the kayak. As soon as she surfaced, she shot back down into some stick/bamboo type vegetation and didn’t budge. I just knew I was going to break off and lose her, but somehow she broke free and I landed her. My one regret is not getting a picture of myself with the fish, but no one was near to assist (I tell family this fish was too big to try and take a self-portrait). This was defiantly a fish I will never forget.

I don’t own any type of equipment to weigh the fish. Anyone give a guess as to how much she would have weighed?
