Last night I caught this summo bass at the Grumpy Old Man Hole. I didn't have a scale or tape, but measured against the rod it was over 18 and it had to be at least 4, so I'm calling it 4.
It looks like Greg Huff aka "Lazy Ike-The Singing Angler" of "Twin Cities Limits" by Treble Hook, Inc. podcast blog is throwing his hat in the ring with this 19.25" largie. Apparently he caught it from the back of Rich's Bassin Blog Lindgren's boat on Bass Opener.
We are one day into the season and Jason Holmer of Minnesota Bass Fishing Blog already bested the big bass (which was his) of last years Derby. This one went 7lbs 3ozs
It was only 16.50 but it was a thick fish full of spawn and it went 3lbs. Caught in about a foot of water in rice and reeds on a watermelon red Zoom Horny Toad.
Rich got the 4.25 Smallie at the Minnesota Federation Nation State Tournament at Lake Pokegama near Grand Rapids.
Maybe I should just call it now. That first bass Jason Holmer of Minnesota Bass Fishing Blog is 7lbs even. In the second picture you get to see the 7 with a 6.06 and 5.81and 1 that would have culled for him but he didn't weigh it. So basically he has 3 massive culls and should have had 4!!!
Another Tonka Fish was 19" and was a sight fish.
Rich Lindgren gets this 4.63lber at Tonka which moves him into 3rd.
