Myself and Mike "USMC_GY" fished a couple of places on the far eastern end of the Guadalupe River. We were fishing for Crappie and Gills but ended up getting a pending record Large Mouth Bass for the Guadalupe River. The fish was 26" long with a 19" Girth. The fish was healthy and full of eggs. The drag piling fight lasted for about 8 minutes before she was landed. The Official Weight of the Fish was 12.11 Lbs. The fish was released to fight again.The Bass and Crappie were caught on minnows under a float. The Gills were caught on worms using a bottom technique. Paper work for both the weight and catch&release records will be sent to Parks and Wildlife. We did manage a few Crappie and a few nice Bluegill and Redbreast. The Gills,Crappie,and Redbreast were kept for Mike's dinner table. A super day of fishing on a super river. It don't get any better. fish
