Re: clear lake
I dont know that guy, but maybe thats why I hear what I hear about him. , anybody who knows ClearLake knows the record is 17something..... Not a very good liar.

Re: clear lake
I know nothing about this person except this. Hes old and hes been fishing a long time. Not everybody cares to get a lake record, and not everybody "certifies" a giant fish. Maybe he caught that fish back in the 60's and didnt really care to let the world know about it. I dont really know but I would like to know.

Re: clear lake
17 pounds 10 oz. Here's Ross England and I with the fish in Tackle it. Nothing bigger has ever been caught in Clear Lake. The Pellagrini page is BS. 100 bass over 10 lb and won 1 tournament.

Re: clear lake/ Sonoma Record
He says he caught a couple 17lbrs in Lake Sonoma too.... The largemouth record, taken by Steve Tamez in 1994, weighed 15.37 pounds. ... HHmmmmmmm..... looks like somebody has a problem telling the truth.

The Clear Lake record of 17.52 pounds was established in 1990 by Jerry Basgal of Clearlake Oaks. Two years later commercial fishermen operating at the lake reported catching and releasing a 25-pound bass.
Okay I know find out it's not 17.10 but 17.52

Re: clear lake/ Sonoma Record
I see that mount in the baitshop every day!
You'd think that if someone had real proof of a bigger fish, they'd show it and take their due.
Otherwise, it's just bartalk....

Re: clear lake/ Sonoma Record
I know Mike. He told me the story about the C/L fish. Ya gotta take it with a grain of salt, but the story goes that the fish was caught on a big-*** plastic bait as I remember. The thing is, that it was caught in the evening. Being a true sportsman, he tried to get it weighed and/or recognized, but by that time it was too late in the evening and nothing was open, so the fish was released. Can't be proven, but he has caught a lot of big-*** fish in his time. Also, the Sonoma fish were very early after the lake was ready to fish,shortly after it opened. Is that when the official record holder got his fish??? Almost all fisherman are bullshitters to some degree.Some much more than others.Do ya really think you should rip this guy in a public forum? My .02ct.

Re: clear lake/ Sonoma Record
Yes I think you should rip a guy that claims to have two lake records. Earlier this year I finally talked one of my best friends to fish a pro-am and a stren. He went up and stayed with me for the clearlake events. These were going to be his first tournaments ever. The first day of the pro-am he draws mike. After the first day my friend is upset. After I ask him whats wrong he then proceeds to tell about his day. It pretty much was mike telling him how great he was and how my friend was doing everything wrong and his equipment sucked. Even though 4 out of the 5 fish in the well were my friends. My buddy had such a bad time that he decided not to fish the second day and cancelled the stren. Now he won't fish another tournament. I thought maybe my friend was being a little harsh. So I asked some well respected fishermen that I knew about mike and all of them said the same thing. He is a horrible person. This guy is a legend in his own mind who thinks he has two lake records. Yes r.mac we should rip on a guy like that.

Re: clear lake
Hello Gents,
This is Steven Tamez the Largemought Bass Lake Record Holder at Lake Sonoma. The date was 03/21/1990. The fish weighed 15.37 lbs. 30.5 inches long and 30 inches around. If you need a pic let me know.
I read the discussion and I believe we can clear up who actually hold the Sonoma Lake Record. Over the last 28 years there have been challenges of 13, 14 and close to 15 lbs. I know one day the Lake record will fall. However, to this point no one has produced this fish to do so.
Good luck fishing gents. Any questions please let me know.
Best,
Steven Tamez

Re: clear lake
Guys,
If you need more confirmation ask Bill Cox (F&G). He wieghed the fish and confirmed the size and weight. He took a scale from the fish and verified it was the first 200 planted from lake berryessa to lake Somoma.
Any questions let me know,
Steve

Re: clear lake
Thank you and cool stuff to know, like didn't know they came from Berryessa and I'd heard of the record weigh, but never length and girth measurements of the fish!Steve Tamez wrote:Guys,

Guys
If someone does break the record someday I would like to know and congratulate them. That fish had another fish next to her the same size when I caught her. There are more out there. Great fishing and catch a big one.
Best,
Steve

Re: clear lake
Hi Guys,
In regards to Clear Lake...
We have a mount and photo at the shop from February 1990. It weighed in at 17.52. To my knowledge it has not been beat. I can add more info in the morning if you're interested. LMK

Re: clear lake
Last thing,
All bass have a genetic origin. This Bass has 70 scales on its lateral line. It was defiantly a hybrid Florida strain.
Largemouth Bass. In the past, scale counting was a valid way to identify Florida bass. A pure Northern Strain Largemouth will have between 67-69 scales located on its lateral line. A Florida bass may have between 70-73 lateral line scales.
