My first fish of the year was a BEAUT, less than 13 inches but this mfer was FAT and had to have been 5 pounds, huge swollen belly, surely a pregnant female.
Caught in a small lake where everyone catfishes, very little pressure on sportfish because the water is so muddy... it was a curly tail pumpkin grub with a top flashing spinner. contrary to popular lore you CAN catch big fish on smaller lures.
Like they always say, darker colors for dark waters... I had been skunked twice in a row before this, but that fat sucker more than made up for it. Didn't even think twice about eating it, she went back, just a nice fatty to get started was its own reward.
Warm winds are finally here for good, hallelujah.
