My biggest hawg yet

[pa mountain man]

My family and I went camping at a small electric only lake(68 acres) this weekend, and I never expected to catch my PB LMB.

I fished that whole lake several times for 2 days, only catching dinks, but they put up a better fight in that lake, rather than the locals, so I was having a blast. I saw a canoe disappear into the feeder stream, and figured "no guts no glory", and ventured into the shallow(4-8") of water, until it opened up to a 12' wide chanel about 8-10' deep.

I wasn't having any luck, and figured I'd turn around, but I seen a downed tree up ahead, and had to hit it. I pitched a worm there, and let it settle for a second, then started slowly retrieving it, and thought I had a snag at first, but it started peeling line off fast. I fought the good fight for what seemed an eternity(5 minutes), and finally got the beast into the boat. He was 21 1/2", and weighed 4.3 lbs. My wife had to fumble with the new camera for a few seconds before we were able to get 2 nice shots and release him back to his home.

As soon as my wife figures out the whole digital camera thing, I'll post up some pics.

speedbead, I caught him at Chapman dam, about 15 miles south of Warren. It's a tiny lake, but it holds some very nice bass, and the campground is excellent.
