Table Rock Bass Records?

[abkeenan]

Anyone know or have a link to the Lake records for LM, SM and Spotted bass? The recent talk of 11'lbers being caught got me wondering what the record is for Table Rock. I remember maybe a year or two ago someone catching a whopper Spot that was low to mid 7's I believe and though someone said it was only ounces away from the Lake record. Anyone have a link or know the records for species of bass or even other fish?

7 lb 8 oz spot is the state record for spotted bass and it was caught at Table Rock in 2004. Not sure on Large mouth.

Could not find TR, but LM is 13.14 1961 bull shoals----Smallmouth is Stockton 7.2 1994---------Spotted Bass Table Rock 7.8 1964

I do not think they list Lake Records, but maybe someone can find them.

I think Dan morehead caught a 6-10 spot during flw a few years back at table rock.

I might be wrong but I thought it broke the state record. Either way it was huge

I remember Tommy Martin caught a 7'6" K and weighed it on certified scales abouut 15 years ago during a Bassmaster Top 150 here and it was not the state record.

I sent a link of Mike's fish pic to Dwight Keefer in AZ. Dwight is a good friend of Ned Kehde's and was quite the stick in these parts many years ago. He replied:

"An 11# is a huge fish the Rock. He is approaching Frank Fensom’s lake record. What a joy to know there are that size of fish there.

Dwight"

Can't honestly say I have ever heard that name, or a weight, but I did ask Dwight if he knew the size of that fish. Have not heard back yet.

This is what I just received from Dwight via email:

"Frank caught it on a Bass Buster Twin Spin in winter out on a big flat he told me. I believe it weighed 11 lbs. 13 oz. I couldn’t find any info on it and Frank is deceased.

I was with Virgil during KU Spring Break in 1968 (3rd week in March I think). He went to the very back of Mill Creek and had me stand on the front seat of his “Big” Alumacraft boat with the tiller handle electric start 50 Merc. I could literally see a half dozen sows in the 6-7 lb. range just swimming around in 1-3 ft. of water. I caught a 7-13 at the back end mouth of the creek right before it went shallow in about 3 ft. of water.

I caught them up to 6.5 lbs. in Beaver where you could see them right where the water was running in the backs of major creeks.

Dwight"

I will check and see if Ned knows anyone who might have info on this. Link below is to a nice article about Dwight from Terry Battisti's Basss Fishing Archives (a great site if you enjoy reading about where we came from in fishing):
