Super User Goose52 Posted November 12, 2011 Super User Posted November 12, 2011 Great fish indeed! Especially if you just recently caught it in cold Wisconsin water. Also, if you did catch it in WI - that fish is about 74% of the WI state record - a "high percentage" fish. That would be like someone in California catching a 16 pounder... Quote

Eddie Berndt Posted November 13, 2011 Author Posted November 13, 2011 Yes she was caught in Crandon, WI. In a lake 2 miles from where i live called lake lucerne. Me and my dad have been going to this lake for the past month and trying to learn its fall pattern and I think were starting to understand the lake more. Well the lake is known for its smallies but they said largemouths where present. So me and my dad decided to go for largemouth and smallies last week and we had a lil one on one tournament just for fun and he used live bait and i only used hard baits. We where fishing for a couple hours around some cribs and caught some smallies. Then we went to a sand point where my dad caught a 20" smally. But then we started beating the shorelines that still had docks on them, and for them smallies i was using a lipless crankbait with 6lb mono on it and they always put up a very nice fight. But then down the sandy shoreline there was some down timber right next to a pier and i casted between the down tree and pier and it felt like someone grabbed ahold of my rod and tryed ripping it out of my hand. She put on a really nice fight i never even got to see what i had on til she was a foot from the boat. After my dad grabbed her with the net i wouldnt shut up too him about the fish i was so excited. It was deffinitly one of my favorite fishing memories and it made it even better that my favorite fishing partner was with me. thanks for reading and i hope you enjoyed the story Quote

Hamby Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 6lb line, lipless crank, near dense cover...lucky! Quote
PR_BASS_ANGLER Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 That's a nice one! It's been a while since I've caught one that size! But ima keep trying! Quote
Steve K Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Gotta love those Wisconsin Bass! Nobody fishes for them like they do for the Walleyes up there. That is a monster Bass for that area of WI. Congrats! Quote
