Super User Hi Salenity Posted December 9, 2014 Super User Posted December 9, 2014 So with it December in Kansas we don't see lots of big Largemouth. In fact it's almost down to one one of 2 local powerplants if you want to have a decent day at all and then the Wipers are generaly the best thing going. The wiper are nice because 1 they get big & 2 they school and if you catch one you can sometimes catch several more on consecutive casts. Anyhow I'd just got a new rod to go chase Wiper with. I needed something fairly stiff but not crazy expensive because I dont think it will get used most of the year. I ended up with a MH Duckett rod and I put my 100 size Speed spin on and was chucking a 4" swimbait. So long story short, I get bit and bring the fish to the surface next to the boat and see its a Largemouth and a big one! It immediately dives back down and goes under a steel cable. At this point I'm thinking no way will I get that fish in the boat but then it turns around and swims back from under the cable and I was able to quickly get her in the net. I was by myself and wanted to find someone to take my pic but I didn't want to leave the hot water outlet and take a chance killing the fish by releasing it in colder water. I settled for a couple videos weighing it and snapped a couple pics and sent her back on her merry way. 11 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 9, 2014 Global Moderator Posted December 9, 2014 To help put it in perspective, our state record is only 11.88 pounds and was caught several years ago out of a private strip pit. The fish before that was 11.75 pounds and that record stood for almost 40 years! Our bass just don't get very big here. I'm still looking for one over 8 in KS! 4 Quote

Mr_Scrogg Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Clayton,it was nice of you to let Curt catch a green fish out of that lake, instead of Flatheads. Lol 2 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted December 9, 2014 Super User Posted December 9, 2014 Great new PB. Congratulations. 1 Quote
conorsixtakc Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I would have bet the bank it was a jig fish! lolol 1 Quote
Doc-Drew Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I would have bet the bank it was a jig fish! lolol Then you would have lost because the only thing Curt catches out of LaCygne with jigs is flat heads and the steel cables . That being said, I would gladly catch a one of his flatheads from that lake! 2 Quote
