Thanks, guys! I only got two hybs this day, but this one was actually the first fish of the morning!
Yes, it's a private pond that has tons of little bass, a few decent crappie, a couple big channel cats and of course, these tanker hybrids fro two separate stockings.

Happy Birthday, Mr G.
Got me a little UL Shakespeare, too, which I imagine is similar to yours. It's a Sigma 2000, I think. $10 off ebay, with the matching Microlite rod.
Helluva a fattie you got there, too. Another private pond prize?
Nice birthday!

Good hybrid, Jim. Oh yeah, I still remember what being 60 was like. The pond I caught my first hybrid out of had about 25 steps leading down to it, and I was sucking wind hauling my gear back out of there in 95 deg. heat. Happy Birthday!

A couple years ago, Condello said I didn't look a day over 59!
Or...was it 49?
