#13875, "Rancho Seco Hog"


  

          

This is my first post so I hope it works...
I hit Rancho Seco on Sunday, March 23 around 9 am. Caught bass of 5.2lbs, 4.7lbs, 4 from 2-2.5lbs, 5 from 1-2lbs, and 4 or 5 dinks. All came on watermelon/red&black 5" senkos except the 4.7 which came on a watermelon/red baby brush hog. I also missed a fish of 7-10 lbs which managed to spit my senko. At this point I am satisfied enough to go home but I stick around. About 3:30 I spotted a big fish between a weedline and the bank and decided to spend the rest of the day trying to catch it. Two casts later she slammed my senko and headed into the weeds but I was able to wrestle her out. I had no net so I did the "use your legs" thing and landed her. I put her on my berkley digital scale and she weighed 14.0 lbs. I got a guy in a boat to take a few pictures, cut some line to measure length and girth, and released her go back to her home. I had always wondered what I would do with a 10+ fish, but it just felt so good to let her go. Length 28 inches, girth 23 inches. My previous best was 8lbs-4oz.
