I think the record was a Bass with a lot more Florida Strain in it that wash down stream from Morena, during the El Ninos of the 93, 95 or 97 years? Not sure what the weight was. I want to say it was a low teener.

I have also hear tails of trout being caught in Barrett washing down from Morena ...

I’ve seen small bass and gills in pools below the Morena dam in hauser. You never now.

Best reply so far

Interesting. That story is on here from the “horse’s mouth”and there wasn’t a scale used…..pretty accurate weight for no scale and the fact they say “the scale said”

I thought it was never weighted? So how can we know its a 11.9? Still a massive beast

The look on his face is priceless.

Fisheromen told me about the digital scale from China on eBay, was like $1.99, works great. Not to own one? PRICELESS. I order 3 at a time, they get lost, break, etc., nice to have backup, just in case.

We (some posters here) usually have fun grossly underestimating weights when folks catch a ...

That’s the 55lb bass that used to be mounted on the wall at Barrett junction cafe …RIP

Got out at 0430 with Chuck and Joe. Of course we all headed different ways, Chuck to a cove where he had success last week and I pedaled to Becky's cove. Joe passed me on the way to Hauser and that was the last I saw of him today. Air was a little chilly at 54F, slight wind, but water a pleasant 75 ...

Good day on the water at Barrett for Saturday. Got out dark and early which is my favorite. Water was already at 74F and the air was probably about 60 F. Slight chop from that evening wind. What was fun was the moon was so bright it almost was light enough. See first picture, that's not a sun, that ...

So the early charity and insider club season is on for 2025 and it sure looks like this year is going to bust out with both numbers and size. I was fortunate enough to get an invite today and happily paid the premium for myself and the better half. After a very chilly morning (low 40’s if that) the ...

I had a great time out there yesterday! Was awesome to meet and fish with everyone. I can’t wait to get back to Barrett!

Today was a super nice day at the lake only thing missing the topwater.... can't wait till the lake opens next month... see you there bud 👍

Top water was there if you know where to go. I got 20 on the popper, didn’t try anything else cause it was too much fun. Ended up @50 and a nice 4 and 5s on ...

Well done folks.

Thanks for the report! Can’t wait for opening. What was the water level like? Higher than when it closed last year?

Here’s the 11-pounder: https://www.instagram.com/share/BALeRznPic


Level was down a few feet but its happened gradually and hasn’t affected the bite negatively. Where the tree ...

Hey all! It is that time of year again, finally!
Last year prior to the end of the Barrett Season I went about getting a private fishing day for a nonprofit that I do hundreds of hours of volunteer time per year. The Educational Martial Arts System. It gives ...

Nice event it sounds like. If you do it again can I be added to the list?
