45.8lb blue cat - Inks Lake record

[mzurovec]

The quarantine has been rough, but we were lucky enough that my folks had a reservation at Inks Lake State Park for a couple of weeks in March. The fishing has been really good, especially for catfish and crappie.

On one of the runs on 3/28, the new lake record was on one of the six juglines that were out. My pops and uncle were lucky enough to get it landed, to a certified scale, and released. It weighed in at 45.8lbs, breaking the old record of of 39.4lbs. It has been a lot of fun, and we're looking forward to hammering the yellow cats in the coming weeks on LBJ!

Nice fish! What end of the lake did y'all find the crappie?

Funny enough, right off the fishing pier. Caught enough there to not really look for them anywhere else.
