Epic Brawl on panfish tackle

Havent had anything to report or brag on in weeks.high 80,s /90s last 2 weeks.not worth the time ,gas,headache trying to get the wench out of bed early for a 1/2 day.well we got a cool front out the door we went.freezer fillets getting thin.went to our new small lake shellcracker spot.1st damn thing in the morning,prime time.i catch a white amur grass carp on a little red wiggler worm...15/ 20 minutes later i see the stupid thing aint a catfish...i,m not thrilled. Fortunately while i,m wrestling this pig lynnes filling the cooler....and dont get me going on the 3 snapping turtles and a big soft shell i wasted an hour on...
.measured at 31".guess weight at 14 lbs....on 4lb. Stren...well there you go Trilene...beat that

Wasn’t your target species, but you got a nice trash fish nice report.

Great fish on 4lb test. Lynn always out fishes you anyways.

never met a fish i didnt like. Nice catch!

Nice! 14#er on 4# line. Well done.

Also ultimate test of a new reel.bass pro micro elite.35.00 $ haha...drag was perfect.been using pfueger ul reels for years.no issues in rivers.fishing more lakes and slip floats and line twist has become a issue.cracked open the wallet bought the new reel...no line twist and 1st fish i catch would smoke a cheapo...my thumbs up if your in the market for a new ul reel but dont want to kill your budget.

....how can a fish get that fat on a vegetarian diet? Weight loss ,vegans can kiss my %$@/&??

Nicely done. Could be a state record, worth checking...
