I'll bet you convert to carp fishing now. Which has a better fight bass or carp? Because it was foul hooked, it was like reeling in a log. I was thinking...caught one...nope, hung up...no, it's a fish, no I'm hung up...no it wrapped me around something...I finally got it to the surface to see that it wasn't green like the state record LMB that I had thought. It was fun, and a good memory because it was not expected. Today on Fork, I caught a 6 lb bass with a finesse worm and a soft crawdad bait with the hook still in its gullet. That is a good story too, it broke two people off recently and still bit my rattlesnake with two baits stuck in her mouth. Not a bad trip at all.

Looking at the length it wouldn't look to be 40, but after looking at that close up and how HUGE the girth is it might break 40. I compare it to 2x the 18lb. dog I have at home. Must have been a rush till you realized it wasn't a bass. When I first saw the pic, I thought closer to 30# myself, but it's hard to compare. Here is a pic of one that I caught in my slip that weighed 31 pounds on my digital scale:

I bet that was a good fight. Mine come up like a log, thought I snagged something until it broke the surface. Was fishing directly below the boat with Chicken Liver of all things.
