As I was packing up getting ready to go I cast out one last time my jig with a Googan Bandito bug craw into the far corner. I felt a thump on my line I reeled in fighting with this bass until I land it near shore. It was the second species caught here after my brother. As I release the bass I saw fish lines in the water moving I quickly cast my jig in the same spot suddenly booom I had a quick jerk on my line I new the fish Gods had bless me, this was a biggen. I leaned to my left side and set the hook the fish gave me a ferocious fight left right then I felt the fish was going to jump and try to escape I quickly tilted my rod down and the fish went back down. As I brought it to shore I screamed of excitement ahhh ahhh! I had landed a Red breast tilapia the size of a Chipotle flour burrito tortilla. I quickly began trying to remove the hook but the tilapia moved from my hand piercing my hand a bit with it spine. My brother took pictures and then weight the monster which was 3.12lb my God this was an insane catch good luck anglers out there. -isaiolvera
Several species to catch. I’ve seen one gator for sure out there so far, so the habitats are pretty promising for good fishing. Went my first time a couple months ago and have gone back a few times already, between trying new city spots to fish a lil closer to home.
