Most amazing Bag of fish in Ky?

[EJHick]

I was just wondering some of the big or impressive bags weighed in over the years here on Kentucky waters. I have two on my list; one was at Nolin about three years ago...two words Beecham & Long 26lbs 6 fish limit with big one around 4.8....that means they were all about the same size wow!
Number two was a buddy I fish BFL with,Mike Sherley, he wooped some butt on the Ohio River with over 16 lbs. of fish in Madison IN when it was the Redman trail. Second place was like 8 lbs. Rediculous..
When will I get to live one of these stories....

It doesn't count due to the slot at Dale Hollow, but I had the following 5 fish bag of SMALLMOUTH in a 2 hour stretch one day this past December: 6-4, 5-12, 4-13, 3-9, and 3-8, which I believe comes to 23-14, not bad for ALL SMALLIES. All FNF, All caught within 15 yards of each other in same pocket. Launched that morning with air temp of 18 degrees and wind chill per the TV was -2. First one was 6-4 on second cast of morning, made it feel like it was around 90. I even remember taking off a layer after the 3rd fish for I was sweating. It went back on when the bite went away.

Hey EJHicks

You started off this post saying that one of the most impressive bags that you ever saw was Beachump and Long three years ago with 26 and change on a six fish limit at Nolin. Have you seen the numbers they put up today at Noiln 5 fish at 22 and change. Both of those bags of fish are incrediable for that lake. Today second drop down to 11 and change and it only took seven to get a check so 22 plus is very impressive.

After reading the results again I now realize I was wrong on 7 pounds to get in the money. They paid 7 places and it was 4 plus right at 5 to get a check. 1st 22plus 7th right at 5

What tournament was that? I was at Barkley all weekend. I finally caught me a good sack of fish! My biggest ever. I had 5 fish over 21 lbs. all on crankbait, but I was practicing. Next day....all short fish, how can it go from a day I won't ever forget to the next day zeroing??? The sun was out on Sat., I believe a small front moved through. My buddy had around 16 lbs on Friday as well, caught one over 6 that had a HUGE shad sticking out of its throat. Man those fish were on a feeding frenzy on Friday, but did not repeat itself on Sat. the day of the tourney. At about 9 am i had a hook burried in my finger, compliments of a big ole drum I hooked on a crankbait. Had to make a little trip to the Trigg county hospital, but I finished the tournament out, just wasn't at a 100%.

Read this now 5 fish 63 pounds in 2 hours but they were red snapper
Other than that the most would be 15.74 out of rough about 3 years ago. Bill Lowen had a good sack yesterday in the B.A.S.S.tournament at rayburn over 20 and he's in 9th place.

I fished a red Man tournment in the 80's on Dale Hollow so fish may been caught in Tenn. but a boat,don't remember names, but one weighed in about 31 pounds and partner had 29 pounds.Remember guy saying they culled another limit of 4 pounders. Cranking was what they was caught on.

DAVID LAWSON OF RICHMOND CAUGHT THAT SACK ON DALE, WHEN IT WAS RED MAN. ALL SMALLIES CAUGHT ON CRANKBAITS, CULLED 5LB FISH.

One time on Barkley, in a little tournament, my partner and I had six that weighed 38lbs. We actually had six that weighed around 25 by 10am that morning and then hit the motherload. In 30 minutes we culled all of those fish. Of the six was one over 8 and one over seven. The rest were between five and six. We actually culled several fish pushing five pounds. All on one spot and caught every one of them on crankbaits. That was in 1995.

Never had a day like that since. Not even close.

My personal best was about 9 years ago, 6 fish- 24.6# (5.2,5.1,4.9,etc.) on Barren, and I don't really like Barren.

I could only dream of big sacks like that. My best in only 8 years of tournament fishing came off Stillhouse Hollow in Texas 4 fish/ 16 pounds (solo) my front boater placed 2nd with 11 pounds.

I did win a tournament in hawaii a few years ago with 3 fish(limit of peacocks) 15lbs.

As I've only been living in the KY/Barkley area for 2 years, my best is 4 l/m at 14 something out of Paris landing.

There were 2 great fishermen on a little lake in Mt vernon ky last october, fishing the end of the year classic. They managed to bring in 20.90lbs witch included a 4.56 spot and 5.53 largemouth.
