Beautiful fish, congratulations to Ryan Reynolds on landing her and releasing her unharmed!  

Their is another thread on this catch under fish reports. This should be a NorCal record catch.

BassObsessed,

Thanks for the report.   Wow, 14 pounds larger than my PB!

My dad and I used to fish for trout at Lake Chabot (a long time ago). 

 

Florida strain LMB were planted into lake Chabot in the mid '70's, over 40 years ago, this bass is at least a 3rd generation FLMB.

Same here BASS302, when it first opened my dad and grandfather took turns rowing me around the lake a rental boat as we trolled for trout!  I remember there was so many crawdads it was ridiculous, but as the bass and channel cats got bigger....

Tom, the surprising thing is that big ole girl survived to get that big.  For the opening of the Quarry Lakes, East Bay Regional Parks electro shocked bass in Chabot and San Pablo Res to stock those lakes. For a couple of months a lot of 6-10lb bass were caught by trout fishermen...

BTW, did get to see the story and photos on another site.  Read it here: http://www.westernbass.com/article/19-p ... ake-record
