Ok I had to show this off! I caught it yesterday at a near by lake called Greers Ferry. She weighed in a 8lbs 12oz and 24 inches long. What a fight!!!! She's going on the wall. I wonder what would happen if I put this in my 1 acre pond??? \:D \:D It would end up being all I had left I think! Just thought I would share!

That is a beauty. What did you catch it on, and what time of the day?

Caught him on an old school lure. 6.5 inch black and white deep diver Rapala. 10:30 in the morning. It was one of those expect it when you least expect it kind of things!! Man did it put up a fight too!

Nice fish RC!!

Biggest LMB I ever caught out of Greer's Ferry was around 3 pounds. Jugged some mighty nice HSB and CC there though! It's a nice cold water lake!

That bass is a beast! Very nice... Always rewarding when you catch a big bass like that on an artificial!

Yeah I thought I finally got the big 10 pounder after all these years but not quite!! Oh well I still have something to fish for! For a summer bass it is a beast. I believe she would have pushed real close to 10lbs if she was in spawn!

What a dandy of a fish! Biggest fish I ever caught was a 7'4oz LMB at Smithville lake. it fought so hard I just knew I hooked a scuba diver.

Tell Lauri thanks again for helping out my family, When they speak of the time spent down there they mention you guys as there new friends they have in Arkansas.

Thank you
Bob

Smithville Lake produces some nice bass for sure. My pond property is just a couple miles from the lake on the other side of hwy 169.

Thanks guys I am pretty proud of it. It's been a long time coming and many, many casts later. It was a great day out fishing with my buddy and I cound't have asked for anything more. It was one of those days you just don't want to have end! Thank God for days like that it makes it all worth while!!!
