Been a stranger lately, but c'est la vie. Hope B was good for the junkies, the junkies in progress, and the new folk this season. It truly is a special place for numerous reasons.

I visited my youtube page for the first time in quite a while. Looks like Ive got almost ten years of flicks on that ...

Will go first but know there will be varying opinions…yes the bass WERE schooling on bait a week ago. The recent cooling trend had them deeper with very little surface activity. The bite is still good, just deeper. My time references here (days on the water so far) are April 7 (Share Day), May 11th ...

Great info thank you!

Don’t think I have ever brought less than 10, maybe 20 types of lures to Barrett. I would bring more but there is only so much room on a float tube.

I was rigging my rods up for this Wednesday when I thought I would show some of the lures to my wife. Upon seeing the rat, she said “that’s ...

I forget it’s been awhile, but what’s the record bass here? Does anyone know of where it was caught? We’re not trying to catch but need to settle an argument. I don’t know where it was but my buddy says it was caught at Becky’s Cove?

Probably will never know, it may have been caught during off season

12lbs and change as far as I know. It wasn't caught on rod and reel or even while fishing so I don't know if you'd count it, but it was released safely.

No clue what the actual fishing record is. Have personally caught and weighed many 8lb and change fish. Never caught or witnessed a 9lb+ class ...

I caught one that was 8.67

I think Mike Long had a 18.5, but the fish in picture looked frozen!!?

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
