WHERE WILL BE THE NEXT WORLD RECORD SMALLMOUTH BASS

[roadwarrior]

fourbizz,

Since you're not kidding, you don't need anyone

to back up your word. I thought we were just

playing. I have seen some of your fish, I don't

doubt you now at all. I hope you spend some time

this spring focused on the smalljaw. YOU are

the guy that just might catch the California State

Record, and who knows, maybe the next World Record!

I just hope that I get the desire to bass fish back. But if I do, I will be on that lake hard this spring and summer.

[midnighthrasher]

what about lake st-francois??? That lake has been producing huge bags lately... I believe the largest tournament bag ever in a tournament 30 lb.

I saw that a few weeks ago and it was amazing. But the record is about the same as Cali's so why not. It probably took 30 years for that fish to get that big though.

[Dan:]

You just never know. There are too many fisheries with big fish and a lot of water.

[tnbassfisher]

The current record is in a lake in Tn if I'm not mistaking. 

Can anyone back that up?

You people irk me. I'm still looking for my 1st 5. Can't quite break it.

I knew about that one. But I have a first cousin that was a ranger at one of the state parks, they drug a pond and pulled out one bigger, and released it.

;D ;D ;D

I don't think you can really predict where it will come from. I think there are possible new world record small mouths in many states there is just not a lot of them in a given water, and all it is going to take is one lucky angler!

I would love to see it come from Maine so that the fishing world would go what the BLEEP, that wasn't suppose to happen! ;D

Show me some 10's and the state or region

makes the list of possibilities. Maine isn't in

the hunt. Right now it's Tennessee, Kentucky,

Alabama, the Carolinas and I'll concede to

Fourbizz, California.

[MaineBassMan]

I understand your reasoning, but it only takes one.

[roadwarrior]

I understand your reasoning, but it only takes one.

That's so true...And I hope you find her!

Good luck!

[MaineBassMan]

If I do you'll see an article about a 28 year old man suddenly dies from a heart attack.

I really don't think it will come from Maine either but it would be cool.

[midnighthrasher]

I'll put my vote for lake st-louis, lake des deux montagnes or lake st-francois off the st-lawrence river.... thats where i fish and i'm thinking possitive.

Has anyone even caught a double digit smallie lately? I've heard of 7lbers being caught in the great lakes and 8lb+ in California but finding a smallie in double digits is very difficult.

[Hornytoad 10]

dale hollow currently holds the record, but Kentucky lake has a large population of trophy sized smalljaws.

[Eternal Angler]

I think it will be Erie

[SWMIBASSER]

I think it will be Erie

Nah. Ignore everything you see, here and read and assume it will be in TN or KY, since hey, the record came from there :

And how many years ago was that?

YOU are partially right. It will come from the great lakes, or surrounding waters.

Possibly Erie, St Clair, or other less known spots on the Great Lakes.

In fact it's down right comical and can speak volumes about some to read some of the nonsense posted.

Not only will it not come from any Great Lakes or surrounding waters, but the Great Lakes aren't even in the running. : ;D

My fishing partner caught a 10 lb smallmouth

on November 21, 1994. I netted and weighed

the fish. Do you know anyone that has ever

seen a double digit smallie in the Great Lakes

region?

[bassnleo]

Nope, never heard of a double digit up this way.

I fish the Great Lakes region and it's my absolute favorite. That being said, the region is awesome for numbers and trophy sized smallmouth BUT, the cold water/winter period and vast expanse of water up here will most likely prevent a fish from growing to double digit size.

It will come from below the Mason-Dixon line or Cali.

[Dwight Hottle]

I agree that Tenn, KY, Al and CA have the best shot. The great lakes have such tremendous fisheries that double digit smallies surely exist. Randy VanDam's 9lb-8oz Ohio record supports that the 10 pound barrier could be exceeded. Only time will tell.

[roadwarrior]

"I fish the Great Lakes region and it's my absolute

favorite. That being said, the region is awesome for

numbers and trophy sized smallmouth..."

The ONLY region to consider for the smallmouth

trip of a lifetime. And on top of that, it keeps getting

better!

;D ;D

What are ya waiting for Kent? 8-)

Me, Dwight, and YOU this Spring. We may not find a double digit fish but we may hit triple digits per day 8-).
