Giant Largemouth Breaks 20-Year-Old Record

“It was late afternoon, and we were cruising through sunken timber looking for bass on my sonar,” Butler tells Wired2fish. “I’d caught-and-released an 8-pounder, and a smaller 3-pounder earlier in the day. About 4 p.m. I marked a fish on sonar suspended a few feet off bottom in 18 feet of water. I figured it was a big bass, because heavier fish are suspended deeper than small ones.”
