A bag that size has to come out of CA (and from the constant plug for huddbaits.com I'm sure of it). If only we could get more fingerling trout stocked up here. Regardless, a truly amazing bag.
I think the CA bass are a Florida strain (that already grows huge) and when stocked in lakes with the trout fingerlings, things get out of control. Florida strain are hard to catch though in the south. Bassmaster mag last month had an article about Dotty, a fish that would have tipped 25+ and smashed the world record if she had ever been caught (not foul hooked) after she exceeded the record.
The day that stratos had a couple of weeks ago was pretty amazing and may be about as good as a day on swimbaits as you can have in Mass.
