Everglades bass tournaments

[clh121787]

Are there any bass tournaments out there? What kind of weights are the local sticks putting together ? Do the ever glades have trophy potential like ten plus pounders or teeners 

[Dwight Hottle]

Yes to the tournaments out of the glades. Capt. Drew Rodriguez fishes a lot of them. Average weights are low 20's. The glades does not have the numbers of DD's that middle & northern FL have.

What Dwight said. 
When I lived down there, we used to have them at Holiday Park, Sawgrass Park and on the Alley. They still have at Holiday and Sawgrass.

What about the trophy bass potential. What is the Everglades record bass if you could put a record for that body of water like it was a lake

I’ll never forget Roland Martin’s fish he caught out there that looked like a dd. He was wearing waders in chest deep water and the fish flipped out of his hand as he was holding it. 

It was part of the introduction to the show every week.

Yes to both DD & teeners. I'm pretty sure Lake Okeechobee is considered part of the glades. I believe they shocked up a midteen fish in the ring canal.
