At first my brother took us to a point, we had some hits but couldn't get them so we went to the other side of the lake and i started to throw a wacky rigged sincko. I lost a lot of half pounders and less. Then my brother started to throw the same thing and we started to go into this cove. It got deeper so my brother threw a crank bait. I casted to one side and he to the other. He hooked up on one and I was watching my lure come out of the shade and behind it was a 10-11 pound fish. The fish inhaled it. I hooked as hard as I could, it came right at me. I reeled as fast as I could, he went in to the sticks. My brother looked over at me and dropped his pole. Once I pulled him out my brother lipped the fish and gave him to me I could barley lip him. We took pictures and released the fish. We went down the lake a little ways and my brother caught a 2 pound fish. That was all we caught that day.
