[@nickbosworth6388]

As a lake Ivie resident and someone who’s been fishing it my whole life…I’m both upset that its been discovered and happy for the rest of the world…I’m torn man

[@factsoffishing]

I understand that.

[@michaeldarby2242]

Rest assured, it's gonna be ruined....

[@nickbosworth6388]

[@rodcashman4793]

Wow quite the fish 🐟.

[@factsoffishing]

No kidding, that’s insane

[@m.c.5761]

DM, Choke has a long standing name for great largemouth catches over the years. Early 2000's were great years to fish it.

[@factsoffishing]

Oh I know. Choke is a Great Lake. My question was more about why would you leave such a rare and amazing time at OH IVie

[@everythingoutdoors-vl9bl]

Bens the man I would love to see him on the elite series one day

[@tylerscarpinato3354]

[@factsoffishing]

Seems like a good lake 😂

[@phoenixw2w]

Milliken hosted a tournament on Truman Lake. Bassmaster Elites need to back to Truman!

[@factsoffishing]

That would be a great tournament

[@ryanjohnson9977]

That's why you weigh it in the boat, get measurements and a picture and throw it back

[@celestinocarrillo6479]

What rig did you use?

[@TheReelDeal57]

We’ve been fishing that lake since the 90’s when it was “fuller” hope the KZbinrs get tired of it and never go to Nasworty or wheeler… and ruin those as well. There have ALWAYS been big fish in these lakes, but no one was interested in pumping money into the local economy’s until now? It’s almost like exploitation… sorry just an opinion. It’s like Monticello and echo all over. But the good thing is in 20 years because if share a Lunker every pond in Texas will produce 10 lb+ fish and ease localized pressure.

[@factsoffishing]

You are 100% correct about the Share Lunker program. It is incredible

[@tannerplumlee2473]

ShareLunker is a super cool program in theory but if there was going to be “10lbers in every pond in Texas” it would have happened by now considering the program has been around almost 40 years at this point.

[@bradalanfoster]

so did the locals not know there were 15 pounders swimming around in there? or were they keeping it quiet?

[@ribbie204]

Doo doo dooo la la la la laaaa

[@factsoffishing]

You nailed it

[@mr.skeptical3071]

Ban livescope

[@cawbaird5711]

Catching those big fish looks impressive until you start thinking about the fortune he spent on electronics. There's nowhere for the fish to hide. You keep throwing a bait on their head eventually you'll hook one

[@factsoffishing]

Catching those giants will always be impressive to me.

[@winstonrocco1981]

Not really livescope turned fishing into hunting

[@cawbaird5711]

Yes like hunting for deer that's bright orange
