    Panoptix used to catch the new world record spotted bass

    https://www.facebook.com/CodyMeyerAn...type=3&theater

    What an amazing day. I went fishing with my buddy JR Wright, and ended up catching a 10.80 spotted bass today. It has the potential to be a World Record. I am really thankful that I have sponsors who make the best gear in fishing. A fish like this on light line took every bit of technology I had in the boat. I was using one of my prototype Daiwa Corporation - USA Tatula rods which is a signature series coming out soon, and a Daiwa Exist reel, 6-lb Seaguar Fluorocarbon Tatsu line, a Strike King Lure Company Ocho. I spotted it suspended over 100-feet of water using Garmin Panoptix. Being able to see them out in front of us before we moved over them made it possible. In total, our best 5 went for over 40 pounds.
    Here are a few photos. Thanks to Tim Little the current Spotted Bass World Record holder for driving up on his day off and helping me get it weighed on a certified scale and for taking some better photos. #GarminFishandHunt #GiantSpottedBass #BassBlaster #Thankful

    The pics say it all. Congrats.
    My wife asks if I'm going to fish every day. I can't fish every day. Some days I might be sick.

    Changed my mind. I think they are at the New Bullards Bar Res about 20 miles east of Oroville. Ive never been there but it looks like a cool place to fish!

    Troy would have had screenshots to show all this but on the 7610 you have to hold the HOME key down so long, if he had done that the fish would have been gone. Then there is always the risk that when you press the HOME key, it changes screens and goes to the HOME screen.
    My wife asks if I'm going to fish every day. I can't fish every day. Some days I might be sick.

    I sure wish they would fix that. It would make for more good advertising for them if they did......
