Young Guide Lands Giant Texas Largemouth Bass

A 23-year-old fishing guide caught a massive largemouth bass in Texas, weighing 13.65 pounds, after using a specific technique to target heavyweight bass in a deep area of the lake. The guide had been fishing the lake for eight years and had a feeling that a big bass was waiting for him. He used a soft plastic lure and a shaky head jig to catch the giant fish, which put up quite a fight before being landed and eventually transported to a state hatchery for a renowned stocking program.
