Martin Weir With 6.40 Pound Black Bass He Caught On A Fly Rod To Establish A Lake Record
Martin Weir of Richmond, Texas, recently caught this 6.40 pound Black Bass to establish a Lake Conroe record for Black Bass caught on a Fly Rod. Weir was fishing for crappie when he hooked the big guy and was able to successfuly land the big fish. He was using a 4 wt fly rod with 4# test tippet leader, with a white woolybugger fly. The fish was weighed on certified scales at Stow-A-Way Marina , then released in good condition. Martin stated that larger bass might be landed in the future on heavier Fly Rod tackle, but besting this fish on light tackle will be a challenge. Local resident, Rick Baimbridge, and fellow flyfisher, Dave Steffik witnessed the catch.
