I was fishing with friends and the 10 pounder, on the right, hit on a Heddon Crazy Crawler. The 9.5 pounder hit on a buzz bait shortly thereafter. Both of these exceptional Tiger Bass were taken on topwater baits from Hampton Lake in South Carolina on a cloudy, overcast day in March, 2012 during the spawning period. Both of these beautiful fish were released unharmed. -guideman77

I was wade fishing for Smallmouth Bass with my brother and nephew over the 2012 Memorial Day weekend in Big Walnut Creek near Greencastle, IN when I hooked into this 44 inch toothy monster. My family has fished this small central Indiana river for decades and we’ve never heard of anyone catching a muskie. Caught the fish on spinning tackle with a Rebel crawdad crankbait. -Tlancaster1
We met our friend Roy for some evening fishing. I cast out and handed the pole to Hayden telling him to real it in and that he might catch a fish while I set up another pole. The little stud hooked this lunker all by himself, setting the hook and fighting it all the way to the bank! -fisherman25
I took my best friend on a salt water charter for his Birthday and cought the biggest fish of my life! It was 40 Inches and about 30 pounds. I have been fishing since I was 4 years old and it’s my favorite thing to do in life.
