Fish Of The Month / March 2022 A Month For The Record Books
I have been writing this monthly report for several years now and selecting a catch worthy of the title “Fish Of The Month” is usually an easy task. My first report came from FFC member Rich Grunwald. On a March 1st trip to Oklawaha River, Rich landed a nice 8lb. 3oz. Bass at 8:40am.
Within 30 minutes Rich had an even bigger fish on and when it hit the scales the magic number 10lbs. 1oz. appeared.
This was surely the March “Fish Of The Month” and all I had to do was write it up and post it. Easy peasy.
Well not so fast because on March 18th, FFC member John Barksdale reported another Lake Okahumpka giant.
Weighing in at 10lbs. 4oz., a length of 27-1/2″ and a girth of 20″ We now have two outstanding catches and “Fish Of The Month” pins to both anglers.
More March reports that deserve “Honorable Mention”
FFC member Wayne Barksdale reported a 7lb. 10oz. Lake Eustis Bass taken with a Zoom Junebug Speedworm on March 20th
FFC member Bill Vockel reported a 7.5lb. Bass taken from Lake Yale while on a March 17th guided trip with Capt. Grady Maynard.
Finishing out the month, Rich Grunwald reported two more 8lb. Oklawaha Bass on a March 26th outing.
A month for the record books.
Thanks to all who reported and sent in pics. Keep them coming.
