jerdanmagic Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 We just got in yesterday from our third trip down to fish Lake Istokpoga, near Sebring, Florida. In a day and a half on the water, our boat landed an 11 pounder, three 9's, six 8's, and a dozen others between 5 and 7 pounds. All bass were caught using wild shiners, some of which were over a pound in weight. It was our best trip of the three that we've taken, as far as the number really big bass are concerned. On our last trips, we've definately caught more quanity, but not this kind of quality. The other two boats that were in our group landed two 9 pounders, and close to a dozen 7's and 8's. Enjoy the pics! My 9 pounder Ty's 11 pound hawg Another 9 2 more 8's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy is going to do a mount of the 11 pounder, so we just got measurements, and a lot of pics. Most of the females were about to spawn, so we let all go back to their beds.
