I boated a 3 1/2 and a 4 pounder

I hooked a 10 plus today..it was weird..I was pitching long distance..when I got a tap..I set the hook and pulled up what appeared to be a mud filled 5 gallon bucket..It was a huge bass about 27 inches long.I got her lethargic self to the top THEN she tore out like a bat out of hades...and shook loose.

She was hooked on the extreme cat tails to the right..ALL the fish though were caught here.They are beginning to spawn.
