Greg Hackney got a pleasant surprise when he set the hook on the lunker he caught about 11 a.m. The Bassmaster LIVE viewers experienced it, too. With the bend of his rod, Hackney got excited.
“Let me tell you something,” said Hackney after boating the fish, “this fish is a lot bigger than I first thought it was. In fact, it’s the biggest one I’ve caught all week.”
Hackney guessed “7 or 8 pounds.” We’re saying it’s a lot closer to 8 than 7.
