Tipped the scales at 17.8 lbs. Hate to see them weighed like that. Hats off to Mike though, he's the best there is. Last edited by Jpurdue; 04/02/18 06:06 PM.

Love small lake fishing! Yes, I do believe Mike is the best there is, but I also believe he has the best access out there. His connections have connections. That's his second 17+ lb fish in the past month! "Bragging may not bring happiness, but no man having caught a large fish goes home through an alley." -A.L. www.LunkerLore.com

Love small lake fishing! Im the opposite, it doesnt really count in my book might as well be private. Little electric only lakes pumped full of trout dont do it for me, if that was from Clear Lake or the Delta it would be a bigger deal to me. Either way thats a great fish and I would love to catch it in any lake.

He uses the Owner welded ones that get bad reviews on Tackle Warehouse, says those guys must be crazy. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Owner_Hyper_Welded_Quick_Snaps_6pk/descpage-OHQS.html
