Johnpenguin Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 Today I finally broke my personal best by 1.25 pounds. I have been fishing in northern Ohio my whole life and have only caught one other bass over 5 pounds. I know for the southern guys this isn’t really a big deal, but this doesn’t happen often up here. I have only heard stories of fish like this. Today I caught and released, in healthy condition, a trophy fish in my eyes. She hit a top water frog that I think I casted right on top of her bed. She was a FAT 6.77 pounds. 27 1 Quote

Johnpenguin Posted June 28, 2022 Author Posted June 28, 2022 Caught her again today and she was 6.26 this time. Hit the top water frog again. 3 Quote
Don51 Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 That's a nice fish for ANY part of the country! I haven't broken 6lb in FL! Quote
