Thunderstorms predicted this afternoon as I got there at 10AM; cloudy, overcast, mid 70s, and just a little wind. Stopped fishing at 2 PM, just before the rain/lightning hit.

Caught a 1 lber near the shore on a Fat Ika from GYCB. Moved over to the deeper(12-16') water where the trees and stumps are, throwing a chartruese Chatterbait. Felt a light thump, set the hook and pulled it away from what looked to be a 10 lber. She flashed by me just under the surface, chasing the CB so I had a good look at her from the side. I say "10 lber" because she looked twice as long as the 5 lb, 6 oz, 22" Bass I landed later on a shad-colored CB with a Basstrix Fat Minnow trailer and CB's Hawg Sauce on it.

1 lb, 6 ozs--15"

5 lbs, 6 ozs--22"

See the DNR tag?

Again

Wow the big one is FAT! I can easily see why you dubbed her 10 lbs!

Those are both thick fish, nice coloring too. That's must be a healthy lake (?).

Yes it is Duster. It's managed daily by the State DNR and they manage it to produce big Bass. My PB of 9 lbs came out of there last August. Here is an article about it.

That was a great article Dan. Lake record 15+ lbs!

Sounds like it's tough to decide where to cast with all that cover. Close your eyes and just cast huh?
