- Catch Story: I was helping my dad with his bite and then the end of my pole bent down like I had a huge bite. When as I was reeling it in we saw it jump out of the water 3 - 4 times and we realized that we had a giant on the line. Soon after that we were told that it was very big for a small-mouth bass. We weighted it in at 4 lbs and it measured at 21 in. It was the biggest fish I have ever caught.
