Cumberland Smallmouth Record Broken?

I heard it from one of our truck drivers who fishes Cumberland every weekend. He picked it up at a bait shop down around the lake on Thursday I believe. He then also heard the same thing from some boys that had been at Backwaters in Lexington too.

I was striper fishing with a buddy way up Beaver Creek a week ago. He claims he landed the biggest small mouth he had ever seen. Claims it must have weighed well over 8.

I believe him because he is not one to brag. My point is the fish is out there waiting for us.

I think I must pursue him
