Story: Today me and some friends went fishing at Palo lake in Palo, Iowa and we had been fishing for a couple hours and nothing. We moved into some backwaters where there were down tree's every where in the water and it look good. As soon as we shut the engine off and trolled around a huge fish jumped and was chasing some bluegill so we headed over there and I had on a 6 inch long stick/jerk bait Rapala and i through it right by the fish and then he hit it was about a 5 minute fight but i got him, its my biggest fish to date. Im proud of it !!!

Weight - 16 lbs 14 ounces
Length - 29 inchs
