I catch a 12.80 on OH Ivie on Video!!

I catch a 12.80 on OH Ivie on Video!! - 03/26/22 09:05 PM

I had booked Wendell Ramsey on Ivie about a month ago. He is a first class gentleman and knows Ivie like the back of his hand. He lives close by and has seen the highs & lows of the lake. I think it is safe to say Ivie is in the limelight right now as evidenced by the staggering numbers of giant fish caught in the past 14 months.

Hope you enjoy this video of me landing a 12.80 GIANT. Thanks to my good buddy Kirk for being so gracious to film the event as it unfolded. She was released a few minutes later to make more ivie babies.

Kirk landed a beautiful 10.07 about an hour earlier so he was kicking back and recuperating from that battle.

Here is a cool throwback pic of he & I from April 1986 on Fork when Kirk landed his 13.61 in a Texas Team event.

Thanks for taking care of all the “technology part” of the day. It was one I won’t forget! The one big difference is I see you finally got a haircut and can now come to terms with being the net man for me back then. We may get old, but catching bass never does.

Congrats Ken!


I'm kind of a rod-snob man. It was an older Loomis IMX. I keep it handy cuz if we get the boat stuck on a sandbar I can use it as a push pole

well if there was a video to get me to shut my mouth about high end Loomis this is it! even before I saw that bait fall out its mouth I thought the rod bend/action was just right to keep it pinned. very impressive to haul that thing in seeing how that thing didnt seem to have a hook point in it at all!

Like I said on your earlier post from CB...I didn't like you much BEFORE these pics. What I can't understand is, when you and I, who are such very, very close friends, I never get invited to these epic fishing adventures. Kidding of course! Awesome vid Ken and a legit monster bass! Congrats man!

Way to go Ken.
I was driving home from Coleman Friday afternoon and saw several boats heading the other way.
I was envious. More so now.

Thanks guys.

Wed & Thurs we fought the NW wind at 15-25 mph. We still caught fish mostly blind casting areas our guide knew held spawning fish. Wed we had 12 fish up to 5.5. Thurs we had 23 up to 7.5.

Friday morning came with no wind and all heck busted loose. It was truly an epic day. My buddy Kirk had a 10.07 an hour before my 12.80 and we had another 7 and a whole bunch of 5's & 6's.
