Memory Maker's Mattawomen Monster

I was fortunate enough to be by Memory Maker when he hooked into this beast.

Mattawomen Monster

Now you need a name and salesman for your new lure design. Maybe this guy is available?

Amazing catch, but I wouldn't have released him. That's a week's worth of catfish sandwiches!

So Far ......... but it's only my 4th trip out ......... thinkin about putting a boga grip to be mounted on the back for the next one .........

[hooked again]

Nice fish! Thought you were going take a swim when you let it go

What a great day out on the water. Nice to meet you all and maybe next time I'll even catch some fish. LMAO

Yeah ...... well ...... the fish was really docile when she was on the boat but when she felt the water she went crazy and pulled me and the boga straight down ......... ripped the boga out of my hands and I caught it by the float ...... all I could thnk of was that poor fish dying with a boga in its mouth and me spending another big bucks for a grip ......

but this time with a 50 lb scale ....... she bottomed this 25 lb scale with about 1/2 her body still on deck ......

Hey ....... just realized ......... big fish on the rod that I made and the lure that I made ........ that was my goal ....... now I can die happy ........

Awesome work hooking, fighting, and landing that fish, Rick. What a beast. That was a good test of your lure construction and knots, plus it's a helluva story. Memory Maker indeed.

Nice looking vid, too, Mike.

Hey thanks ......... but the hooking was luck ....... and the fighting was 20 lb braid and a good drag ........... oh and you can see what what happens when ya bring the net ....... it was definitely fun

the lure did the work ........ this was the first time it saw water ........ I just threw it in the box because it fell on the ground and I didn't want to spend more fishing time putting it back in the binder. Found it when I was looking for some hooks to use with the senko's Mike gave me. Tried it and Mike and I both thought it looked good ....... it's weighted so it falls flat instead of nose down which to me is more natural ......... and the tail has a tiny bit of that senko quiver when falling .......... fish hit when I stopped pedaling and drifted .........

Hmmmm ....... Think I'll make some more .......... Ya Thaaank !

nice fish MM, sorry i couldnt make it but i had to let others get some fish too
