Looks like it will be a close one. Clunn is 8 ounces out of the lead (estimated).

Looking at the results - only 4 bass over 5 lbs. so far.

Very nice!

We like pics, post away.

Isn't that the basis for fishing stories - "Big fish that didn't exist"?

Well if we're going to go big, let's go all the way. Stock a couple of blue whales. Train them to jump over the HWY 12 bridge. Talk about a tourist draw!

That sounds like fun, catching big rainbows on light gear.

Very nice!

Nice bag of crappie!

Very nice!

I'd take pics, do some quick measurements, release it, then think about getting a replica made.

No cats for me, I wouldn't mind catching an eating sized flathead.

I respectfully disagree, yeah the media is creating a mini-circus, but Sam is not trying too hard to avoid it. There's money to be made, and as I said before, there's no such thing as bad publicity. Sam realizes this and is starting to capitalize on it. And good for him, I just hope he can handle it.

Thanks for the report, good to hear some info on the Grand bass fishing. I keep telling myself to get over there, but just haven't done it yet this year.

LOL, yeah I had to get back to Big M today and get my fix.

Fish are still biting, got off to a slow start in the fog and calm water, but found some good bites later in the AM on banks and coves with some breeze on them. Fish seem to be moving out towards the main channel points as that was where our best fishing was. Between me and my buddy Jeb, we boated 60, a mix of spots and LM's (only one dink smallie).. Quality was good, quite a few in the 2 -3 lb. range. Best bites were on c-rigged Zoom UV Speed Craws, Megabugs and Speed Craws on wobble heads. Fish also were a bit deeper, some we caught were as far as 20 feet out, but I'd say 10 feet was about the best depth. Water temps 64 - 65. Visibility continues to improve up the White channel, could see bottom in 10 FOW. Brought home 3 keeper walleye for the fryer.

LOL!

Need to correct that, I have caught them, but in the Beaver tailwater, never out in the main lake.

I've heard of people catching them in the Rock but never have done so myself.

Nice bass, congrats!

Very nice, great fish!

Very nice, I noticed that there's also a banner for it on the OA forum page.

Yep on that - first day of the front was wonderful on The Rock.

Congrats!

Yep, I'm on the lottery. Got to take some time to do some testing.
