The biggest Bass I caught was not that big by today's standards. It was a six pounder in August. I don't remember the year. I Caught it on a crank bait on Rayburn.

Had a 14.4 in March 2006 on Choke Canyon fishing near the danm.  The next week had an 11.58 during the bass champs tournament and won big bass and ended up with 11th place.  The last cast of the day during that tournament I had a fish equal to the 11.58 bite-off my ole monster worm right at the boat as I was reeling up.  dang fish bit the worm off about 1/2 an inch behind my 5/0 Gamagatsu hook.  Had we landed it we would have won the tournament.  Best part of it all is my fishing partner weighed the bag of fish and took his picture with the big bass for the story credit and web site while I was moving the boat from the weigh area....LOL  He thought that was funny and never told Chad (Bass Chams) any different.....LOL
