11" Rock Bass Master Angler Entry
AMAZING FISH STORY!!!
i decided today to target Rock Bass for a Master Angler Patch this would require a length of 11" . Earlier this morning i released a rock bass of just over 9" with a bobber and worm. I came back home and looked at the DNR Master Angler database and saw that Wixom Lake was one of the top producers of trophy sized rock bass. Now i caught one earlier this year that measured approx 11.5" but did not have a scale with me and i thought at the time the master angler minimum was 12". i measured that fish up against my fishing rod with a picture and scaled it at at between 11" and 12" approx. This fished was released immediately and i missed out on that Master Angler oppurtunity. i caught this fish on a 5" green pumpkin/red flake jacks worm and have caught alot of jumbo rock bass on this while smallmouth bass fishing.
Now today i decided to continue that effert where i caught the previous rock bass. Mind you that i am now targeting these fish for a trophy and not accidentally catching these while fishing for another species. WHAM !!! first cast under the bridge a 11" er. Had a nice scale handy for the picture and measured just a notch over! What are the odds!!
