willie525 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Did they really find her dead or did someone just make that up so Dixon would get less pressure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RipLip Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Wow! That is a awesome story. It gives you the chills when reading about the dedication these guys had. Defenitely an amazing Largemouth. Its good that she lived her life to the fullest and wasn't cut short for the wall. Now she can be honored at the Calif. Fish and Game. Up here in NH a 10lb bass is a once in a lifetime bass. Still haven't seen one in person but I'm always looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGOTWORMS Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I was lucky enough to have this lake in my backyard this lake is a mile from my house and i will tell you what i am so happy that that fish lived out its life without getting cought and stuffed by some guy. By some guy i am not refering to jed or mac, there is no way they would have kept that fish, but In the last three years you could not amagin the amount of fishing pressure this tiny lake has recieved. there were guys showing up from all over the wourld to try and get a piece of that fish. but in the end the bass winns again. dottie rip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
