I caught the biggest bass of my life! I didnt have a scale but it must have been in the 5lbs area for sure. It was a hog! An absolute lunker! I caught it on the north end of the lake while casting parallel to the logs. I cast my perch pattern rapala jerk bait & got a bite that wasn't strong or weak just normal, so it took a moment to realize how big she was. The fish freaked out made for the log jamb, I forced it out only to get wrapped around another log. I held pressure as I trembled & tried to maneuver the boat around the end of the log. I successfully freed the line & was shocked to find the fish still on! Another moment of elation & the fish was in the net (it barely fit!). Later that day I caught another decent sized largemouth & also managed to catch a very nice trout (17inch or so) on a jointed perch. The weather was fairly cooperative, but a few sprinkles was well worth it. All fish were released in good health to be caught again another day.
