7 lb largemouth at Dale Hollow

[Tim_T]

A couple of years ago, Scott Patton and his teenage son Shane destroyed the field in a two day tournament at Dale. They had five fish limit aof largemouth that weighed 22.23 pounds on the first day and 16.24 of largemouth on day two. They also had big fish both days 5.07 on day one and 5.18 on day two. Every fish they caught was a largemouth.

The biggest largemouth I have ever seen in the wild was at Dale. Fisheater & I was down there a couple years ago, in Holly Creek, when his line took off & went under and around a bush (atleast 15 times). The fish came up on the other sade about 10 feet away from us & if it wasn't at least 10#, I'll quit fishing all together. He fought it for what seemed like 30 min. but was only about 2 min. & his line broke. We were both sick & still talk about "the one that got away". We WILL be trying to get that one again, I am sure of it. I just hope it is still hanging around the same bush, but I doubt it. I remember it like it was this morning when it happened.
