A pig of a Largemouth
« on: June 18, 2009, 10:12:17 PM »
Here's a couple pics of a Largemouth my brother caught out of Winchester Lake earlier this week. It tipped the scales at 6.5 pounds.

(For those that do not know, Winchester Lake is east of Clarkston, WA/Lewiston, ID...just a short drive)

Bowhunterforever: I am not sure what he caught it on but I'll see if I can find out.

Gobble: My brother is a big catch-and-release guy and took great care to make sure that the bass was healthy and released. He did keep it alive in a large bucket for a little while until he could get home and get pics taken. He failed to pack his camera and wanted pics so that he could possibly get a replica mount done on it. He took the measurements and then released the bass later that day. Hopefully she will produce some more lunkers for later fishing trips!

eh, they multiply like rabbits.  true, you don't get a whole lot of big ones up here though(because of the climate).

i like to eat the 12 inchers, i just have to not let the bass fanatics see me or they get real pissed off.
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun

Very nice bass, good for him to catch and release, replicas are the way to go on those big old mama's. I have 3 on the wall all let go and I made replicas of them they will last forever.
