I'm pretty sure this fish was a solid 1-8. :-)

Looks closer to 1.5-1.75 lbs. What a freak!

I do feel really lucky! :-)

Herman Brothers own Lake Norris, which is west of Peoria, Illinois. If you contact them, they would probably be able to arrange for you to fish there.

So what did you catch this on and do you have any secrets you would like to share to us new pond owners to help achieve these fish, and most importantly get them to bite.

Goliath strain. Nice one!

That fish is insane!!!

I thought it was cool that the hybrid opened it's mouth right when we were taking the picture. He posed perfectly. Maybe he knew we were going to let him go.

Holy Cow!!!

Did that thing eat a shoe?!?
I hope to catch some hybrids tomarrow that are atleast 1/2 that size.
