    New Personal Best

    In Wisconsin with it's short growing season, it takes a bass 15 years to reach about 5 lbs. Today, while fishing a clubber, I boated my personal best Largy of 6.20 pounds. I'm guessing this fish must be near 20 years old. The smally in the pic was 2-1/2 pounds for comparison. I finished with a limit at 13.45 pounds and big bass. GREAT DAY ON THE WATER!!

    It is a beautiful bass and a nice way to end the year on a club win! Glad I got to see that fish and the smile on your face.
