082614-- PERSONAL BEST AND MASTER ANGLER SIZED P'SEED OF 9.375"

082614—well ive been targeting this fish for well over a year and have caught dozens between 8 and 9 inches this year while doing that. Ive studied this fish and its habitat and have keyed in on that. This morning I set out with just my dropshot rod and my micro light slip bobber rod. The night previous while studying some lake maps I set some new waypoints to fish along with some old favorites. The new way points consisted of inside bend to original creek channels. The first and I thought the best waypoint proved to be dirty with littered branches stumps and overhangs. Pulled a few jumbo pseeds out of the junk along with some quality gills. Lost a lot of hardware and thought about floating a slip bobber over the mess. BINGO! After another quality seed I catch the 9.4 incher .5 inches over my 54 year personal best!

well sent my Master Angler paperwork in yesterday for the 9.375 p seed yesterday.... since you are only allowed one Master Angler certificate per species per year and looking at the long range forecast i dont think ill be topping that mark this year. lol

Awesome fish Ken, congrats on your new PB. Awesome body dynamics on top of length. Came close to the 9" mark last year, missed by 1/8", but that fish didn't have near the girth of this one. Congrats.
