I heard silver lake near mt st helens in southwestern washington has 10lb pluss largemouth

That lakes record 10-3 held by Dale Sanders.  It puts out a handful of eights and sevens each year and I know of three over nine.  My best on that lake is 7-13 and I have 5 others over seven pounds but you have to put a lot of time on the water to hit those numbers. A fish biologist told me they shocked a 12 something about five years ago.  

I can't find the memory card but I had the best fishing day of my life at Pot Holes.  I caught 37 small mouth in the last hour of the day and one largemouth. The largemouth was over seven and I had five smallmouth over five pounds in the mix.  Pot Holes is my favorite place to fish period.

I have had great luck fishing in SW Washington over the years but have gone a bit "cold" over the last few years due to lack of fishing time.  Several 6+ Lb LMB's. Anyone in Clark Count that actively fishes for bass? I have an awesome Fishing Kayak that I use. Would love to team up some time with someone who has a Kayak or even go out in my boat.

 

I am also interested in understanding when pre-spawn is and what temperatures here in the Clark County area are for pre-spawn, spawn etc. that what works best. My best has been with Pig-Jig, tubes etc for pre-spawn but not sure if that's just luck.

Average sized fish in Washington is 2-3lbs.  My Washington PB's are a 6-lb largemouth, and a 5-12 smallmouth.  But it seems every year, somebody nails a 9+ in Washington.  And 6+ pound smallies are becoming more frequent.

 

They're there.  It's possible.

Hey glen. I just moved to Washington last week. I'm in port Townsend. Are there any bass clubs or any way to meet local anglers so I can get on some fish?

I just moved to to Arizona from Washington but I'm the 2 years I fished WASHINGTON state my largest was 7.2lb LMB and 3.84lb SMB. Hopefully the bass fishing in AZ is even better! ?
