Since the Pit is only 5 minutes from my house, and I hadn't been there in about a month, I decided to give it try Thursday after work. On my second cast, I felt a slight tick, so I reeled up the slack and let her have it. My six pound test started screaming off my reel and it was heading straight for some submerged tree, at this point I had one choice, tighten the drag and try to turn it, to avoid the trees. So, that's what I did and after a 10 minute battle here was the result. A 24 1/12 LMB, my personal best from any lake. She was a real beauty and appeared to have spawned already. Since I had no scale I could only estimate the weight somewhere between 7.5-8.5 lbs.
