Erin Dewease of Oxford, MS caught this bass on a
private pond in Lauderdale County, MS on March 18, 2005, while fishing for
crappie with a 4 and 1/2 foot long Shakespeare Ultralight with 4 lb. test
line and a beetle spin. The sow weighed 6 lbs and should have been a good
bit more. Note the bloody tail from fanning her bed and the flabby
deflated belly. Erin's husband, Brandon, stated, "I was extraordinarily
proud of Erin. It is her biggest fish to date."
