While fishing Dale Hollow Lake on the Tennessee/Kentucky line, July 8, 1955, David Hayes, Litchfield, Ky., caught the biggest smallmouth bass of his life. He brought it to a nearby marina which weighed the catch at 11- 15 oz and measured at 27” long, with a 21⅔” girth.

Neither fish was measured, but there's some serious girth happening in these photos. First pic is of my Dad with a Laker and the second is of me with a Brookie. Pre digital. About 15 years ago.

What a great looking fish!! "Illiamna Pinkie"...read a book called "Gamble at Illiamna" by the people who created a first class flies-only lodge up there in AK. Great Read and I haven't read it in sometime....thanks for jogging my memory. May have to go pull it out tonight and start reading it again!
