Super User A-Jay Posted October 19, 2015 Super User Posted October 19, 2015 Only details I have - came off a share from FB. Angler was Greg Gasiciel and the fish was taken (and weighed in) during a tournament this weekend somewhere here in Michigan. The Beast weighed - wait for it . . . . . . . . . .9.32 lbs ! ! ! ! We could be looking at the New State Record. Congrats to Mr. Gasiciel. Unreal. A-Jay 5 Quote
EvanT123 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I saw that as well. Pretty wild, I'm no expert but that fish looks like it's been around the block a few times. Quote
lecisnith Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I know where I'm fishing next spring... Quote
desmobob Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 She looks like an old timer for sure. Congrats to the fisherman on a record catch! Tight lines, Bob Quote
Super User Darren. Posted October 19, 2015 Super User Posted October 19, 2015 Huge! Did they release her? Quote
Will Wetline Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 That is a monster smallmouth for sure, but checking with the IGFA online the 11lb. 15 oz. smallmouth caught by David Hayes from Dale Hollow in TN in 1955 still stands. 2 Quote
Super User FryDog62 Posted October 19, 2015 Super User Posted October 19, 2015 Do you know the length? Must be 20 years old that far North ~ 1 Quote
Snakehead Whisperer Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Absolutely incredible fish. I'm jealous (but not as much as the guy in the background.) I looked it up. Article said the length was 24". I think A-Jay meant to write "state record." 4 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted October 19, 2015 Super User Posted October 19, 2015 Do you know the length? Must be 20 years old that far North ~. Sure looks like 23" to me. Quote
jbw252 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Wow - Congrats to Mr. Gasiciel on a great catch. Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted October 20, 2015 Super User Posted October 20, 2015 Huge! Did they release her? I'd like to know if she was released as well. Be a shame if she wasn't. An amazing trophy to be coveted, hopefully given the opportunity to be caught again. Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted October 20, 2015 Super User Posted October 20, 2015 Fish was caught on Hubbard Lake near Alpena, MI. The weight of 9.32lbs came from the TD's scales and the fish was being taken to a set a state certified scales for an official weight. I saw a fairly poor picture of the fish on a tape and it looked close to 24" as the news stated. Hubbard Lake was one of the three lakes that Major League Fishing visited a few year ago. 1 Quote
Smokinal Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 That's not a pie plate....That's a COOKIE SHEET! Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted October 20, 2015 Super User Posted October 20, 2015 What's really cool is catching a new state record while fishing in a tournament. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted October 20, 2015 Author Super User Posted October 20, 2015 Yea Sorry about that ~ State record clearly. A-Jay Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted October 20, 2015 Super User Posted October 20, 2015 Congrats,What a beauty.Thats the stuff dreams are made of Quote
MidwestF1sh Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 So it was taken to an official scale? Not released it sounds like? Quote
Mothercanucker Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 She deserves better pictures of her. Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted October 21, 2015 Super User Posted October 21, 2015 Wow! Great fish. Quote
Snakehead Whisperer Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 She deserves better pictures of her. A friend sent me this one today. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted October 22, 2015 Super User Posted October 22, 2015 A friend sent me this one today. That is a much better picture than the stupid garage pic. When some one catches the fish of a lifetime remember the background in the picture . Take the pictures on the water! Quote

When some one catches the fish of a lifetime remember the background in the picture . Take the pictures on the water! I totally agree. The other pic doesn't do the fish justice either. It actually looks like a 9.32lb fish in this photo. Quote
