Personal Records

Here are my personal records of trophy fish I have caught in North America.

21" Largemouth Bass
Date
: September 19, 2009

Location: Lake Auburn
Lure: Rebel Pop-R (Silver/Blue)

My cousins and I were fishing inside of a small bay that connected both ends of the lake through a narrow channel. I was twitching a Rebel Pop-R over submerged weeds in the early morning hours when this big bass hit. It hit like a freight train and leaped out of the water!
