While Striper fishing on Hartwell yesterday I managed to land three Largemouths that would have weighed in at over twenty pounds. Probably closer to twenty three. I just had to show them off to a few of the guys prefishing the FLW event coming up at Hartwell. After holding the fish up. I asked if it was what they were looking for? You should have seen the looks on their faces. Well big fish news must travel faster than a small center console with a 90 Johnson? You would have thought I was Tiger Woods approaching the 18th hole at the Masters when I got back to Portman Marina!!! Some of the guys were pointing and whispering amongst themselves, and one finally walked up and asked me if I was the guy with the three big Largemouths? I answered yes, and while I had already released the fish, showing them to a few of the FLW fishermen was enough proof!! I showed all that were interested where I caught them, on a map, and what I caught them on. Which was 10"-13" Gizzard Shad. I wished them all the best in the upcoming event, and headed home. When I arrived and was telling my wife. She asked why I didn't get any pics. I told her that I had left my fishing camera at home. She the asked "why didn't you take some with your cell phone dumba$$"? OOOOOOOPS!!

Great story, live in Greenville and did a lot of striper fishing last year but haven't been out out this year. Where were you fishing down towards the tugaloo?
In 6'n 20 creek. All three of the big bass were caught off the point just past the hwy. 78 bridge. On the left at the end of the swimming area at Anderson Beach. I caught one two weeks ago over ten pounds back out of the creek a ways. Again just off of a point. 6'n 20 is loaded up with big bass right now. I've probably caught two dozen over six pounds this year. I just wish I was doing a little better on the Stripers??
