Big Bass in Arkansas.....
After hearing about several 4-11 pounders being caught out of Lake Monticello from a one of our local bass pros', Scott Suggs, Lee and I decided to try our luck. So at 3am on Saturday morning, July 8th, we loaded up and drove almost 2hours to the "Hot Spot". This is my BIGGEST fish ever, as he was caught about 20 minutes before we were getting ready to leave (1:10pm). My first fish came at 9:30 and it was a 6 pounder, then I caught a 4 pounder (as if that wasn't good enough), then about a 3 pounder...them WHAMMMM.... Lee had seen this fish feeding on some minnows and commented to me so I tied on a spinner bait and put a trailer with a grub tail and on my second or third cast hung this monster. After about a five minute fight, around and under the boat, stripping my line, he came up for one last jump and THANK GOD, Lee put the net right under him. He was hooked pretty good. We will be going back next Saturday...for sure!!!
