It's highly unlikely that folks in the Great Bridge area of Virginia Beach ever will forget what happened Sunday, April 30th. That's the day an EF-3 tornado went through their neighborhood, causing millions of dollars in damages.
It's also very doubtful that Nick Koenig ever will forget what happened to him the same day. While fishing a trail event at Bob's Fishing Hole, he got hold of a real beaut.
He was flipping the Virginia side of Northwest River, closest to the park, when this 10.76-pounder fell for a custom-made flipping craw made by Brad Higginbotham, owner of Thrive Fishing. Nick was using a 7'4" heavy Lew's TP1 black speed stick, coupled with a Lew's custom lite reel purchased at Bob's Fishing Hole.
Besides being a lure maker, Brad (below, right) is the one who netted this monster fish for Nick.
