Nick A Jack 1-17-2012

I have been blessed through the years to have several memorable day's on the water and today was near the top. Doug Markham and I set out for the lake early this morning to shoot a video for his site. To make what could be a very long story short we caught and released approx 70lbs of Largemouth with our best 5 weighing in at 37lbs with the big fish weighing 10lbs 12 ounces. Everything was caught on a Real Bait Company 3 wire Tennessee Rig, and swim baits rigged on VMC Smoochin Head Minnows www.vmchooks.com and 65lb test Sufix 832 Braid www.sufix.com . Doug shot several more pictures that I will get up when he sends them and we have the entire day on video that will be up and running within a week or so. Doug and I have had some great trips through the years together and this today was no exception. Wow!!! Rick McFerrin www.tennesseebassguides.com

Thanks for the congrats....back in the 70's my father and I fished lake Kissimmee in Fla...Dad had a 14 plus which is still on my wall....and I had one that was over 12.......I always wished that I had had a mount done of her....still have the pics though...............this was my biggest Largemouth in Tennessee. We measured took plenty of pictures and released her-I will have a plastic mount done ...Rick

Nicely done Rick, let us know when the video can be seen.

Couple ?'s

What was the girth on that big girl you caught? And how big was the bottom left that Doug has?
