6/3/2015 10:48:00 PMWell that is one heck of a nice fish to say the least , Not sure I've ever heard of the lake You caught the fish at , but no matter . damn I'd have a grin like that too . If you read some of the reports on this site , a person Who is known as D j has an ability like you for just going to the ole pond and bringing home the fish just as you did , not everyone can do that . way cool dude being new to the area in all it just gets better . Check out D js posting I'm sure you will enjoy them. Dang that is one big fish. Fish On !

6/4/2015 11:27:00 AMNice LMB! Closer to 3.5 lbs. if you ask me...Always pass by that lake and wanted to try it. Is there an area to hand launch a 10' jon boat?

6/4/2015 12:54:00 PMI used to fish this lake a lot in the late 80s and early 90s when I was stationed at McChord, the north end usually produced the best. Buzz baits and other top waters were my lures of choice. If there is a lot of moss a frog/rat bait should work well even from shore. Also be careful because there is a lot of Poison Oak in the bushes around that north end, I experienced it more than once. I was a slow learner back then I guess. I used to launch my 16' ft Fisher from the gravel area on the NW side, the lake was electric only back then so I used my bow mount to get around. Good luck!

6/5/2015 3:01:00 PMDon't sell yourself short on the weight. I've found online largemouth bass length to weight, and vice versa, to be fairly accurate, within less than a half pound. This is based on trial and error, and they are pretty accurate. I think Kuyamonster is right, 3.5lbs. Google largemouth bass length to weight. That is not a two pounder, but thanks for your modesty. At least you didn't say it was a ten pounder, LOL. In all seriousness, that's a heck of a nice fish, and I'd guess 3.5 as well.
