I have caught several in the upper five pound range in my years fishing the lake, I seem to do best in the spring, but in august I fished with some one from RI who was up there to fish a Classic and did well also, fishing the weed beds. The largest bigmouth I have ever caught on the lake tipped the scales at about 4 pounds (3lbs 15oz) at weirs beach docks, by boat, in early summer, casting under the docks with a top water popper, when The Mount was out......That is not to say there isnt bigger fish around, and I dont know the records for the lake, this is just my say on the matter and believe me, I am no expert......BUT I LOVE TO FISH !!!!!!
