Eric Doppee and his giant!

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

Curtis Robinson released this 31½-inch cutthroat trout at Utah's East Canyon Reservoir


Talk about a great way to shake off Cabin Fever! Curtis Robinson caught this massive 31½-inch cutthroat trout at East Canyon Reservoir and it’s being recognized as the largest cutthroat trout ever caught and released in Utah.

It’s great that Robinson released the fish and what’s also very cool is that he caught it on a homemade marabou jig.
