I was painting a large two story home this am in Utica, IN. right on the Ohio. I was up on my 24ft ladder and just happened to turn around at precisely the same time as this bass fishermen was fighting a big fish. I knew it was a stud because the pole was throttled over. He pulls out a 5-6lb LM right in front of us, really nice river bass.

He said he caught a 7lber out of there earlier in the year. I didn't think the river had big bass.
