Fin, I appreciate your knowledge of Beaver Lake. I think you are a good fisherman, but.....
This is what a 22 inch Beaver lake bass looks like.
Here is my own educational tool I use from time to time. Just a quick reference on the use of a golden rule, lots of us guys struggle with measurements, myself included, just ask my wife.
Lastly and just for fun is a side by side of the 17 and 22 inch bass. Their markings are similar, brothers perhaps??? Or that was one greedy little devil that ate so much he grew 5 inches in a day.
OK OK, that was just for fun. Everybody simmer down and have a good Friday.
