Roberts’ entry shows him holding a big Turkey Fork Reservoir bass caught in early March while his buddy, Daniel Netterville, was changing batteries around because of some electrical problems the duo was having.
“… I decided to toss a frog around the area,” Roberts said. “After a few casts, this brute decided to choke down my frog.
“At first, I thought she was a routine Turkey Fork 3- to 4-pounder, but once it broke the surface I saw otherwise.”
The pair of anglers eventually were stranded because of battery problems, but that didn’t ruin the day for Roberts.
“We almost never made it back to the boat ramp, but it was one of the best days of fishing I have ever experienced,” he said.
Gordon’s entry is of a 9-pound bass caught in a Lowndes County.
“I caught this 9-pounder at a farm pond with a june bug Paca Craw made by NetBait,” he explained.
The final entry by Frierson was Pearl River hawg he estimated to go about 11 pounds.
“(She) and the mail were both on a bed in less than 2 feet of water,” Frierson said. “I knew she was a good fish, but I didn’t realize just how big (until) I caught the male, which was pushing 4 pounds.
“Knowing she was approximately three times the size of him only got my heart racing faster.”
It didn’t take long thereafter to hook the big sow.
“As soon as I landed her I called my father who came and took this picture,” Frierson said. “I released her and never got a weight, but she was right there with the 11-pounder I had previously caught.”
