This is old posting from March I'm posting for Dennis Steele aka (Pork Chop). He asked me to post these a couple of months ago & this is the first chance I have had to post. Dennis caught this fish back in March, he had been catching good size bass on swim baits that day. He told me that he had made a long cast with the swim bait & while it was in the air there was a big swirl right where the swimbait eventually landed (as soon as the bait hit the water the fish hit it). He told me it took about 20 mins to land and pulled his boat across the lake. The fish weighed 56.81 lbs weighed at Hamiltons, I believe the lake record is 58lbs so this one was pretty close.
