“After catching 20 smaller bass the past 2 days I laid into this beauty! I didn’t have a scale, so I’m not sure what she weighs, I’m hoping to get some feedback but I’m thinking it was 6 or 7 pounds! Caught it on a strike king 1/2 oz jig with a KVD magic dream shot as a trailer. I was fishing with a Quantum Tour KVD rod and PT spinning reel with 12lb fluorocarbon. This is the biggest bass I’ve ever caught and I’m glad there was some strangers there having a picnic to take a picture for me! I’m glad michigan DNR decided to open up bass fishing year round or I would have missed this opportunity!” Submitted by Bryan
