10 pound Bass are not the "norm" here in Maine, and I have never caught one; But I was at a tourney in the early 80's @ Kezar Lk. & got to see one Weighed in.
DOES that COUNT?
?
.......That was the biggest Bass, to this date, that I saw come out of a lake in Maine ( tipped the scale @ 10lbs. 2ozs.).........Lou
