Bass Fishing
As soon as the jig ‘n pig hit the water, all three of us in the boat saw the massive swirl as a fish turned and swam toward the bait. A huge wake emerged, cutting a path through the shallow water. We all held our breath as the wake sped toward the spot where the…
Gary Brannon, of Columbus, broke the lake record at Goat Rock Reservoir with a monster 14-lb., 3-oz. largemouth. On March 13, Gary and Johnny Reed, also from Columbus, fished Goat Rock, located south of Bartlett’s Ferry on the Chattahoochee River, for 1 1/2 hours and caught 10 fish over 4 pounds, all in one spot!…

Here’s the 14-lb., 2-oz. largemouth bass record from West Point. Richard E. Little, of Powder Springs, caught the fish on April 15, 1988. West Point Lake Record Fish
