Monster catch

[JuanTamad]

Caught this monster PB today on Rap Shad in about waste high water. Waded in to high-tigh deep water and swished my ugly stik with the Rap Shad underwater up to my elbow and got it to bite. Made three very long runs before I beached it. Male 20 inch+

It's unusual to catch PB this size with all three bars still well defined. Typically the bars gets washed out or broken up. So, I tanked it. Shown below sharing a 3 foot tank with a 14 inch female I caught earlier in the week. The female's markings are obscured by the bubbles but it has some nice markings too. Both are being quarantined and conditioned for somebody's monster tank, hopefully.

This may be the mate of the 20 inch monster I caught last Friday. This one is a bit smaller and definitely female and over 18 inch. Caught it over the same hole as the 20 inch male.
