5-gallon bucket with fins

“Steve” nailed this 12+ pound largemouth last week in a “popular Northern California bass lake not named Clear Lake…”

Okay, so the details are a bit sketchy, but there’s no denying that this fish is an absolute hawg and worthy of Trophy Room status. Apparently Steve got one over 11 pounds recently as well.

Lately, the big bass action at our local lakes has been a bit up and down as the weather’s been all over the map. Just when the fish get up shallow, we get a cold snap and they back off again. Things should really start rolling if we could get an extended period of sunny conditions.
