OK DHaun here's one for the Hall of Fame. He's not a CFF member yet but I'll work on that for you.

My dad took his best friend Keith Bonnell to Carters Lake this afternoon and just before dark Big Keith set into this pig. It weighed 10.1 on digital scales..... The day was slow for them, I think they only caught 4 or 5 fish and that was the only big fish of the day but man that is rare these days. Thats the 4th Largemouth over 10lb from Carters that has came out of dad's boat but the first in quite a while. When I finally got to dad's shop to see the fish it was in a livewell full of Rejuvenade and pumps were running so they were taking care of it. But I'm pretty sure by the smile on Keiths face that is going on the wall.

Keith is over 6ft tall and well over 350lbs and for fun tears Chattanooga phone books in half LOL so I'll honor his wishes of keeping his secret bait secretemoSorry

Congrats Keith that is an AWESOME CATCH!!!emoWorthy

What a GREAT fish! Nice way to end a day of fishing!

He looks happy to be holding onto also.

But calling it a pig ... where and why do you guys insist on calling HOF'ers such derogitory names??? Surely we can come up with something as magnificant as the catch itself. :)

Pig, makes me shutter to think about it.

What a very nice first rate fish though and I'm going to figure out what to call such beauties! But pig just won't do.

Congrats on the HOF'er!

That is the kind of Bass dreams are made of.emoThumbsup Great fish!!!emoTongue Jmax
 
Fishing Machine what is the equivalent of a 10lb bass in the Catfish World (80lb, 90lb or what) It's rare I do know that. Keith says thanks for all the compliments. He is still on cloud nine today LOL.

As far as depth goes, from what I've been told the fish was actually pretty shallow under 25ft.
