REPORTS:
Brian Ouderkirk (Davenport,
IA - ph: 319-324-2733) and brother Ed (Davenport, IA - ph: 319-323-4939)
caught about 80 bass up to 6
lbs during 5 days (May 10 - 14, 1999) of wild shiner fishing with
Captain Ron. Brian caught two bass that weighed 6 lbs each and
an 11 3/4 lb. mudfish. His brother Ed landed a 5 3/4 lb. bass
and several others in the 4 - 5 lb. range. A pickerel that weighed
at least 4 lbs was also boated by Ed. The best catch of the trip
was a 10 1/2 lb. huge bass that I noticed floating on top of the
water struggling to stay submerged. Upon netting this beauty after
several tries, we discovered that it had a very large fish in
its stomach that caused it to be unable to stay submerged. This
trophy bass as of this time is recovering in one of my shiner
tanks. I have been treating it with antibiotics and will release
it in Okeechobee soon. I fished the Monkey Box and North Shore
areas of Lake Okeechobee. All bass caught were released.
