A year and a half ago, my friend Brett and I came back to the Marina around 11am to get some lunch. As we parked the rental boat,and walked up the ramp, some absolute pigs were coralling a new batch of stocked trout. Right there at the ramp in plain view. There were three slobs, and undoubtably the biggest bass I've ever seen. I'd say 17-19lbs.

I haven't got one in the 'teens myself, but have seen a number of big fish in the open and at various weigh-ins and what not. These were the biggest fish I've ever seen in the wild.

I have seen one fish at Lake Mission Viejo that looked like she may be 18lbs. Maybe that was the one Mike Long picked off this past spring?

Funny that Mike fishes both Poway and Mission Viejo...maybe I should hit up Dixon too!
