Reservation Number : 27375
Property Name : Twin Lakes
Reservation Date : 03/20/2021 All Day -
Total Fish/Sizes : 21
Lures Used : Weightless Senko/Brush Hog

I fished Twin Lakes on Saturday. Actually, I only fished East lake today. Was on the water by 7. The Bass Forecast was 3.1 so I was expecting it to be slow. Started throwing a black/blue Senko wacky rigged weightless. On my third cast, literally haven't even turned on the trolling motor yet, my slack line twitched and I set the hook. At first I thought I was hung, but then she pulled! Then pulled some more! I had to let her run for a bit to get her tired because I knew she was big! She came up to jump and I was right! A giant! Finally landed her and got her weighed. My new personal best weighed eleven pounds, five ounces! Snapped two pictures and got her right back in the water! What a rush!!!

I ended up with 21 fish for the day. The five biggest were 4.4, 4.5, 5.2, 6.7 and 11.5. The rest were small. They only bit senkos and brush hogs. 
 

Thank you PWF for another great outing!!!

My word – what a giant! Congratulations John! I would have been shaking so hard I probably couldn't have cast any longer. Awesome to see the East lake put out a giant like that. 
 

Thanks for sharing,

Mark

Congrats on an awesome day and a new double digit PB – wow…. 32+ pound bag with an 11.5 pound kicker – better than a TV fishing show!

John,

Congratulations on such a great fish. Did you enter the big bass contest? Likely a winner, at least for the month of March and maybe overall. Catching an 11.5 is a huge accomplishment.

Thank you, Scott! A good buddy told me to retire from fishing since it would be so hard to beat an 11.5. I just told him i had to catch an 11.6!

Thank you, Steve! I think I’m still shaking from it! You know, i have never entered the big bass contest, not for any particular reason, just haven’t. The thought crossed my mind after the fact, though! It’s all good! The experience will be with me forever!

That is simply an outstanding outing!  Very nicely done! Rare indeed is the fisherman who has landed an 11..5!
