October 15, 2010 - Private Pond - I caught this largemouth bass in July 2010. We weren't sure if this would be a state record or not, but he was HUGE. I almost broke my pole trying to reel him in. I caught him using fake bait, at the pond at my friend's house. We named him Fishosaurusrex because of how big he is. We estimate he was at least 12lbs.
Thanks,
Caitie Hilton -- Lawrence, KS

8, 2009 - Lake near Burden - Here is a picture of a 22" 6lb large mouth that I caught on a lake near Burden Ks. The fish was caught by Dave Bean while fishing with his uncle Eldon Schniepp and son Julian Bean. This fish was caught in the morning on a 4" tube bait. They always look like the weigh more than they do. We released the fish to be caught another day. We also caught another 20" bass that was skinny and only weighed 4 lbs.

8, 2009 - Wilson County Pond - June
1 My buddy and I put on a Wilson County pond about 2 hours
before sunset. The wind was about 15-20 mph. My buddy was running
the trolling motor and it kept him pretty busy since I forgot
the rudder to stabilize the back of the boat. In spite of that
he put me on this real nice bass that hit a Tiki Wave worm right
on the edge of a drop about 8 foot from the bank. What a brute!
very strong fish! As always the fish was released to fight another
day!

20, 2008 - Lake north of Denver - Caught
this bass a little lake just north of Denver , a town called
Thornton . The weather was 29 at night and 72 mid day. The past
week or so I have been catching one or two big fish on spinner
baits or rattle traps. Normally the lakes are frozen over this
late in the year. Have been taking advantage of this as well
have the bass. Thanks for letting me share my story with you
all.

27, 2008 - Farm Pond Fishing - I
know farm pond reports don't help others catch fish at the same
body of water, but I will talk more about the day then anything.
It was right when we got the cool front in and the weather was
pristine. The clouds all around. I had the day off and decided
to hit up my farm pond that isn't too far away. I pond was completely
calm so I knew I had to keep a calm approach while wading. I
played around with some spinnerbaits and stick baits and was
catching some small bass and then I moved to the main like and
went to a black jitterbug. It's definately a big bass bait and
small bass tend to smack it as well. Here are the two fish I
caught that are worth showing off. Topping over five pounds and
one hitting 5.5lbs. The biggest wasn't too far from shore and
the other was more to the middle of the lake. Finally caught
some nice fish.

23, 2008 - Farm Pond west of Hutchinson
- This 5# Largemouth Bass was caught by my son, Connor
Ogburn. Connor caught this Bass at a farm pond west of Hutchinson
, Ks, on 07192008, which happened to be the day of his 7th birthday
party. Connor caught this fish using a 3'' mister twister. We
both caught numerous Bass in the 2-3 pound range, but the one
pictured was the biggest of the day.

April
21, 2008 - Southeast Kansas Private Lake
- She caught this giant largemouth on Saturday 4/19.
It was caught on a small private lake in southeast Kansas. She
was using spinning tackle and a red and white Chatterbait. We
didn't have scales with us so we're not exactly sure on the weight.
I would guess somewhere between 8-10 pounds. She measured 24"
long and 18" around. Just wanted to show everyone you don't
have to go to Texas to catch a lunker!
Thanks

2, 2006 - Big Hill - A
19" small mouth bass from the banks of Big Hill Lake, last
Thursday (4-25-06) near dusk. Caught by Stacy Reeves using a
Storm 4" chartreuse "Wildeye" minnow. Except for
a few crappie, this fellow was all that was caught for an after
work run to the lake that evening. Of course there was also one
that got away.... and he was "this big!"
May 7, 2006 - Anthony
area private pond - On April 20th this year my oldest
boy (Tanner, 8 years old) and I were doing some after work fishing
on a private pond here in Anthony, KS and were just about done
for the evening. We were on our way back towards the vehicle
and casting in as we were leaving. He was using a 4" long
plastic lizard for a lure and cast in one last time. I saw his
pole bend and a big ball of moss, so I just assumed he was stuck
on it. I had told him to get it unhooked, until I saw all the
splashing. I knew he'd caught something other than debris. I
cranked in my poll, ran to him, but let him reel it in all by
himself. Here's the picture of the proud angler with his catch
weighing in at 6 pounds. I was very proud of him, and we've frozen
the fish and plan on having it mounted for him.
February 28, 2006 - Kingman County - Beautiful weather
again. Pablo and I went to Kingman Lake for some early season
bassin.
Water still a little cool but it will warm up quickly if this
weather holds. Caught a total of 3 bass on a 5/16 ounce blue
and black jig&pig. We had to work for them but sure was fun.
Tried spinnerbaits, plastic lizards, worms, crawdad cranks but
they wouldn't hit them. Jig & pig is hard to beat in these
cool water conditions. Looking forward to getting out again.

by Larry Bridgeman - Tournament Report - McAllen Bass
Anglers: Twenty of McAllen's finest fishermen brought their
rigs and reels to Falcon State Park last weekend to contest their
August Tournament. The big bass of 7 lbs 6 Oz was caught by Abel
Garcia (left photo) who had 2nd heavy stringer of 17 lbs 12 oz
for the two-day event. The heavy stringer was caught by Eddie
Kucia (right photo with a 5-10) weighing 18.01 Oz. The conservation-
minded club had reduced this to a three-fish daily limit tournament
in consideration of the hot weather. Altogether, 20 fishermen
caught 88 bass weighing 219 lbs 13 Oz. There were 6 fish caught
over 5 lbs and eight patch fish (over 4 lbs) weighed-in by Anglers.

June
8, 2005 - Southeast Kansas farm
ponds and watershed - June 3-5 - We had three different
storm fronts and all the rain to deal with which made the ponds
dingy but still caught some nice bass. Not much good top water
action. Plastic worms and lizards texas-rigged accounted for
most of the bass, in particular the 4" pumpkin and chartruese
Yum-dinger which caught this bass. A larger bass was hooked on
a black / red tandem willowleaf spinnerbait but came off the
hook as I was trying to lip him at the bank. So my son will never
let me forget this! He will have to get his own Yum-dingers from
now on.

to take your Brush Hogs back on the water, Charlie Ormand and
his Camo Brush Hogs were viciously attack by a 11lb 2 oz bass
today in the Marker 8 area of the lake on the U.S. side. It wasn't
pretty but when the fight was over, Charlie had the best of the
deal and, proving he was a great sportsman, released the fish
in the Veleno to fight another day. Barbara snapped this pictures
showing again the benefit of the great training I have provided.

Saturday started just like most winter days in Zapata, but this
was not going to be remembered as a normal winter day. Not for
San Antonio's SWRI Bass Busters that had their 2004 7.74 lb club
record bass caught here week before last, or for Jerry Campos
who shattered that record with a 14.28 lb fish from Falcon. The
heavy stringer also claimed by Jerry was 29.02 lbs. Nineteen
fishermen and ladies weighed 15 limits including second and on
weights of 20.76 lbs, 19.76 lbs and 19.58 lbs.

Hi--We took this picture today of one of our friends
with a big mama--11+lb!--that he took from our "secret pond"!!
(Not really, ha ha, he's a distant relative on a mutual friend's
small lake in eastern Texas-- but what a fish!)

Mar. 23, 2001 hi jim--
Here are photos of our best from last season. Both were taken
from our favorite little lake. Larry's fish ate a jig and twintail
combo, while mine ate a small black/blue spinnerbait with a little
neon green piece of worm as a trailer. Larry's fish was a little
over 4 lbs and mine weighed in at a hair over 5 lbs.
We
want to do this again soon.
C. Riley & Larry Ranich
Jan. 7, 2001 I'm not sure how much
this one weighed, I'd guess around 5 pounds. I caught it in a
pond near my house north of Lawrence. It was loaded with many
fish this size, but this one was the only one I kept. Mike
