Mark several Clearys in and around T-Ville, know a few of them. That little lake used to be a hawg heaven in it's day, just ask Stephen Headrick about it, he grew up fishing that little 110 + - lake, were some pigs in there, but it has gone downhill, lot of catch and eat went on, lost another one in that lake that would have pushed 12 and they found one floating dead once that was over 12. Smallies were stocked there a guy who had a big pond full of em and the pond started to leak so he put the smallies in that little lake.

Appreciate you letting them big brownies swim Mr Stripernut

oh my goodness i get a pit in my stomach when one of those beautiful brownies has trouble swimming away, they are truly special creatures

No, five biggest no matter where. But it'd be interesting to know the best 5 caught in ky if youve kept track of it.

Nice thread.

All in central ky in the last 4 years, and none from farm ponds ...each released alive and caught on artificial baits by luck.

Just curious Andy, what are your best 5 here in ky or abroad?

46lbs 10oz, all from ky, and my 5 best anyway wether in ky or not. The biggest is 10lb14oz, the rest are 9s and a couple 8s. Actually, all 5 on different baits, top to bottom- Lizard, spinnerbait, worm, paca craw, and jig. 3 were after midnight. They all happened to come in the past 3 years too, but only one from this year. Im working all the time now, got to fish much more when I was in college All were caught from my jon boat/ trolling motor.

32+ pounds. All from KY. I am still looking for that 8+ pound bass.

One of these fish was a 5 1/2lb smallie from KY lake. Me being young and not really knowing just what I had, I ate that fish. I wish now I would have put her on the wall. If I ever catch another that big, I'll know what to do with it this time.

Had never thought about this until this post came up. Brings back some good memories...

I wish these fish were caught as a result of my fishing skills but unfortunately they were probably more the result of persistence than anything. The two 8.5 pounders were actually the same fish (with very distinctive markings), caught twice within a three-day period on KY Lake. The second time I caught her, she was about 100 yards away from where I caught her the first time. Shows the value of catch and release.

Four of the five were caught with my dad in the boat with me. That's definitely the best memory associated with these fish, since he passed away this last summer.

Hmmmm, 6.7 LM ( Kentucky Lake ), 5.64 SM (Barren), 5.34 LM (KY Lake), 5.2 LM (Rough), 5.2 LM (Hardy Lake, In.)= 28.08. Does'nt even put me in the money on this thread..LOL

[Luveatnbass]

Best five is a little over 52lbs. Ate'm all too. All came from Florida.

[Col Forbin]

Probably right around 35 pounds. I have caught five fish all right around 7 (some a little over, a couple a little under) over the past couple years here on Ky Lake. Still haven't caught an 8 pounder. Released them all.
