Got a 7 1/2 several years ago, in a small, less than 75acre watershed lake, in south central Ky. These were Dale transplants, but lost one even bigger in the same lake, it also produced an 11+ lb largemouth for me. Both fish were released,but the sad news is in that same lake I broke one off, and a week later she floated up, my jig in her craw, she was over 12, I felt real bad for such a nice bass to die. But an 8lb smallie, you can have all the ten lb lgmths,you want but that 7 lb smallie fought the hardest I have ever had a fish to fight,even hybrids, and I have caught them up to 14 on Barren, but those smallies are the bomb. Hope he took pictures and then released it as now you can get great looking fiberglass repoductions for about the same as killing one of these grand fish.

First of all real nice fish. I never met Gary Garth the reporter on this story but he has no clue as to what he is talking about. Read the text below the picture, he said the man was planning on fishing for Stripers at "Dale Hollow" with Randall Gibson. I am no expert and never claimed to be but there is no way in hell that he was fishing for Stripers at "Dale Hollow" for there are NO STRIPERS IN DALE HOLLOW. He may have been targeting Stripers at Cumberland where Randall has caught his fair share but if Gibson and this guy was going to drag a Striper out of Dale Hollow then I am going to hire Mr. Gibson myself for he is the best fisherman on this planet. I guess anyone can be a reporter no matter what the skill. Maybe I can get Mr. Garth to write an article on the 6lb Smallie I landed at Guist Creek last week or the 30lb Striper I caught out of Cedar Creek yesterday, those fish don't exist either but?????
