Little Kid…Giant Bass!

February 9, 2012 By JD 4 Comments

Eric Doppee and his giant!


Kerin VanDam and Skeet Reese have never done it…nor have most of the professional bass anglers in the word. But 13-year-old angler Eric Doppee has!

The eighth grader from Pleasanton, CA caught a bass Saturday that only exists in the dreams of most…an 18-pound largemouth!

The behemoth set a new lake record for largemouth at Shadow Cliff Reservoir in the Bay Area. You can read the whole story at Pleasanton Weekly

    Turns out the bass was dead when the kid found it – check the white eyes indicating it had been dead for awhile.
