Another 10 lber!

I believe it is the low off color doing it. Would not surprise me to see at least one more in the next couple weeks. i had a 9.7 caught very close to me this time of year about 2-3 years ago on a crank bait of some sort. If I get out later this week I might putmy money on a carolina rig for a big one. The bait might just be bright pink or green. Of course that might be misleading.  Everybody knows I do not give good tips.

I think you're probably right Harry!

Would have been nice if they would have turned it back instead of sending it to bass pro...bass pro has multiple 10 pound fish in the tanks I don't see why they need one of the few that we catch from public waters

I'll be darn.   That is the same fish, isn't it ?

Makes you wonder how many times fish get caught and put back over and over. I've seen it happen twice where I was involved. One was my biggest largemouth that I caught in late Feb and didn't get a chance to weigh, but my buddy caught her again a month later and weighed her just over 8#. That was in a big pond though so definitely nothing too crazy about that. It happened again on my biggest Gasconade largemouth. A guy caught her in a tournament way above Jerome and brought it back to Bell Chutes to be weighed. It weighed just shy of 5#. A month later, I was fishing about a mile down from Bell Chutes and caught the same fish and it was 4.59. Not sure if it was a spawned out female or why it lost the weight in that time, but it has several markings that were identical which leads me to believe it was the same fish. A nearly 5# largemouth isn't exactly common on the Gasconade either.

That fish has shown it's resilient to be caught twice like that at that age and weight. Shame on that angler if he didn't release her to spawn again.
