Records

But 2 years agone the country tape smallmouth bass was caught in Hubbard Lake. Hubbard Lake is virtually fifty miles southeast of Gaylord. That record was curt-lived, nevertheless, as a new record fish was caught just last yr. This occurred in Indian River, which is the connecting waterway betwixt Burt Lake and Mullett Lake. In Michigan, a Master Angler Accolade for the smallmouth bass must measure a minimum of 21 inches to qualify. Fish of that size are easy to catch regularly on Northern Lower Michigan lakes. I have caught and released two Principal Angler Award qualifying smallmouth bass already this year. It won't have a professional angler to catch a trophy size fish either: the country record fish was caught past an angler peacefully enjoying an afternoon from the end of his boat dock.
