Taken from another board: The old record set in 1977 by Kenneth Bingham of Topeka, was broke Saturday May 3rd. Tyson Hallam 14, son of Terry and Tammy Hallam of Scammon, Ks was fishing in a Cherokee County strip pit as part of the West Mineral Eagles fishing tournament held on Saturday. Using a jig and pig, Tyson was hoping to catch a good fish for the tournament, he did much more than that. He caught an 11.80 lbs. (11 pounds 12.8 ounces) largemouth bass beating the 31 year old state record of 11.75 lbs. (11 pounds 12 ounces). Sunday morning the fish was weighed on a certified scale and witnessed by David Jenkins a Kansas game enforcement officer, along with a Kansas Dept. of Wildlife and Parks Fisheries Biologist who confirmed the species and took the 28 inches in length and 19 1/8 inches in girth measurments. All state records require a 30-day waiting period before certification.

Love the Craws!!! 6 new products in October I'll start saving now! Looking forward to see what you have come up with. One of these days they are going to hook me up with a "BIG O'LE PIG"

I usually drive in from Topeka so I don't have first hand knowledge but there are some of the larger chain motels off of I-70 on the south side of Junction City

Went down this past Sunday water temps in mid 40"s. This lake can be rough on small boats when the wind blows. Just find a ramp close to the area you wish to fish and wear your PFD.

Nice fish!
