Let those Largemouth go Sam!!! :)

🙂No problem, you got it!

We've only kept/killed one keeper largemouth this year, and that was several months ago.  That fish was gill-hooked and bleeding bad, so it wasn't going to make it anyway.

Surprisingly, we've also caught (and carefully released) TWO "Meanmouth" bass this year, one 16.5" and one 17.5", both from the area of those two islands where the two lake arms come together.  Both were caught on light crappie poles and 4 lb. line, so that was fun.  Those are impressive-looking fish with the weird markings and green stripes on their cheeks, and they both took us around the boat a couple of times.  Fun!

The occasional white bass, catfish, and now 12"+ Kentuckies will make fine tacos.  No need to pester the other black bass.
