My good friend, Ed-RIP, caught a 10-2 out of Shreve Lake before they ruined it with grass carp. He actually caught the same fish twice. He was the best angler I've ever known and a great friend.

 

Thats an amazing catch x2! Eds a legend!

 

Solomon Curtis has a reputation of catching big bass in Ohio out of the AEP ponds.

The Ohio Record Largemouth – One Man’s Pursuit

You’ve got a better chance of being struck by lightning…twice…in one week. That’s usually my response when people ask me about the likelihood of catching a 10 pound bass from Ohio’s public waters.…

Ive heard alot about the AEP ponds I think if it were to be done on public land it would be there. *EDIT (also Soloman is the GOAT)

 

Solomon Curtis was pictured in Bassmaster magazine with a 10 plus several years ago, from AEP ponds.
Also, heard a 10 came out of Wolf Run about 10 years ago.
They load that lake with Trout....Very possible.

 

Interesting Ive never heard of Wolf run I appreciate it REEL GRIP! You know of anywhere Id be able to find that magazine?

 

x2 on Wolf Run.

 

Geeez I need to get out there

 

GREAT READ THANKS FOR SHARING

 

Take it for whats it worth ...I was told by somebody from ODNR that was on one of the shocking boats...there is two state record in wolf run ....grain of salt stuff .pretty lake, tuff to catch a bass on at least when I used to fish it

 

I have no clue how I hadn’t heard about this place until now

 

I believe it... They will let you go alone in a shock boat.
If you happen to be there at the time.
Would be interesting.
I was at Walborn years back, and headed to to ramp about dark.
In the parking lot was about a dozen ODNR vehicles, and 3 shock boats.
I'm like...WTF.
They asked if I wanted to ride alone. I had to go home.

 

You never know, this was electro shocked out of hinckley before they drained it and that place gets a ton of pressure. Could be 9 or 10 lbs

 

That’s a cool looking one too

 

The Beach City Backwaters Had more then one 10lber come from there , Seen 1 fish i believe in the 11lb range i know it was from there because i could see the background in photo, Its was just a big shallow "swamp" Way back in the woods down a gravel road, It was Honey Hole for us locals got a lot of pressure towards the end of that place, people from all over came to fish there, my biggest from back there was 6.1lb but seen many bigger fish pretty regularly... That place is silted up n land is where we use to run our jon boats in water, I really believed the state record would of came from there. Seen the picture on the internet The Guy put exactly where he caught it , its on the fishidy app which i dont have but it showed up online.

 

Is that in Southern Ohio?

 

That fish looks real dead.
