Title: A pig of a Largemouth
Post by: agchawk 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)

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!

i like to eat the 12 inchers, i just have to not let the bass fanatics see me or they get real pissed off.
