dog gone basscatcher, i don't snag bass, i don't even fish for bluegill. get your facts straight! i saw the pictures the fish wetghed 16pounds 8 ounces....but it could have been caught another time, as a matter of fact maybe another lake. how do we know that it was actually caught at the pudd? i can bet you that some of the night netters poaching the lake have taken a few,we've seen a few out there, and no one does anything about it!
