New PB on Buckhorn Lake

I caught my PB (personal best) LM for Buckhorn lake over the weekend. 5.18 lbs. On Buckhorn most of the time I caught dinks or 1-2 pounders but the first fish of the day Sun. was this.....

which is a baby for this lake.

Going to go back to there this weekend or back to the other lake that I tend to caught bigger bass on.

I love that lake, I have only fished it once and it was early spring when the water was down, but still had a great time. If it was not so far away I would fish it often. Caught a lot of crappie there and lots of morels there on the banks also. Great pictures of your fish. I have some friends that live down there in Leslie County and fish it just about every day. Keep up the good work.

I also live in Leslie county. I have caught alot of good fish in the head waters of Buckhorn but not alot in the lake itself. I have caught some huge smallmought in the head waters. Thats the biggest that I have caught in the lake. It was caught on a mainlake point almost straight acroos the lake from Gays Creek.

I am now big fan of those "toothy critters" you mentioned, but that picture makes that particular fish look beatiful! The LM looks pretty good too man ;) Congrats and good luck at the "other place".

Thanks, last year I seemed to caught bigger bass on Carr Creek lake. I haven't had a chance to fish it at all this year though. In the pic. of the Musky it was raining when I caught it so have to wait to get that shot after we pulled the boat out of the lake. The pic.s of the bass don't do it justice. Don't know if it is because I didn't hold the fish out away from my body and closer to the camera or if it just looks small compared to me ...lol... But it doesn't look like a 5 pounder in the pic.

I thought the same thing....camera angles and proximity are the key! Nice Muskie...they are really beautiful. I caught one this year at KY Lake while bass fishing on a SB...thought I had a monster LMB!!!!!

mmm, not being mean, but no way that can be a 5lber...unless some serious picture problems or something? looks like about 2 maybe 3? how long was it?

He said exactly what it weighed. Pics can be deceiving. He might be a big guy.

Dont forget Buckhorn muskie size limit is 40 inches. Sounds like a good day.

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I looked at the pic.s on here but the bass was just a hair over 21" long and 12" around.

AndyG, your right about the big guy comment. 6'3", 250lbs.

Medicine Man, that fish was alittle short of the size limit. 36"

that right there would be a 5lber then...lol
