So, what was up with that 12 pound bass from Michigan in the Bassmaster
Lunker Club a month or two ago?

| Never saw it. I can't believe that anyone pulled a 12 pounder from Michigan. |

| At that latitude that 12 lb mother would be as old as the hills, over
thirty, maybe even forty?! Did they mention if they included the walker or
a wheelchair on the scales when they weighed it?

| They usually list the home town of the person who caught the fish, maybe he
was from MI and the listing was misprinted. Rich P |

| Nope, I'm sure the Lake was in Mi too...

| The Wisconsin State Record Largemouth is 11 lbs., 3 oz. and the record
Smallmouth is 9 lbs., 1 oz., so I see no reason why a Michigan lake couldn't
produce a 12 pounder. |

| OK, here ya go - found it. From the Dec 04 issue: Doug Meekhof
Jenison, Mich - 11 pounds 14 ounces - Lake Clay, Michigan - 3/25/04 - yada
yada yada... Now, the only thing that might lead me to believe that this is printed in
error is that the photo shows Mr Meekhof housting his lunker while dressed
in a short-sleeve shirt. I gotta think that it's still rather chilly in
Michigan in late March, is it not? Warren |

| Majority of the time you wouldn't be able to go out in short sleeves in
March. |

| Heck, when I lived in Chicago, if it got into the high 40's in what we
euphemistically called "Spring" .....we were out throwing a ball in the
front yard. I think my blood thinned out when I moved to the South.

| That would also be a State record, and we would have heard about it
everywhere. |
