gripnrip Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 A giant bass caught on Broken Bow lake in southeast Oklahoma! https://www.facebook.com/wildlifedepartment/photos/a.262353923814227.62558.187593801290240/654328511283431/?type=1&theater 1 Quote

Jay Ell Gee Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Wow, what a fish. Great pic as well. It's all downhill from there, eh? Just kidding. Quote
DILLY07 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Thats a pig! Congrats. Mind telling me what lure did you use? Quote
Pete-K Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Shoot if you turn the numbers around its still a nice fish. Way to go. Pete Quote
gripnrip Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 It wasn't me fellas. Although I wish it was! Missed the state record by a pound. Broken Bow lake is a super clear, spring fed lake. I imagine it was a jerkbait. I'll look into is some more and let you know what I find out. 2 Quote
ClackerBuzz Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Oklahoma is clearly m-u-c-h farther south than I previously thought! ie no ice! 1 Quote
gripnrip Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 Ice occasionally. The area where last years BASS Classic was launched out of, was iced over. It is rare any of our lakes ice at all. Ponds or smaller bodies of water will ice over more often. Even then, not so much. The last couple of years has been the difference. We've had some record lows in the single digits. We had a few days it was 0, which is very rare. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 6, 2014 Super User Posted March 6, 2014 Absolutely beautiful fish! Quote
Dead River Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I've seen a lot of nice teener bass coming from Oklahoma over the past few years. good looking fish there. Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted March 8, 2014 Super User Posted March 8, 2014 Sounds like a perfect lake to take some swimbait tactics and fish the big baits if anyone isn't doing it already. Maybe a 10" Triple Trout or a Huddleston. I'm sure if you put a few days on Broken Arrow since it's a clear lake you would probably see quite a few big fish. Just a suggestion from the West Coast. 1 Quote

I'd be bank fishing! lol I have been down to the lake once. It is about a 3 and a half hour drive for me. That part of Oklahoma does not look like the rest of Oklahoma! It is a very scenic part of the state. Quote
BeckieC Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Oklahoma is clearly m-u-c-h farther south than I previously thought! ie no ice! Broken Bow lake is pretty far south, nearly Texas. I have never been down there but I would like to go sometime, maybe late spring or early fall. Hopefully we will be able to de-winterize the boat and hit Ft Gibson lake in the next week or so. Quote
