Leyton Lindsey and Nyklas Glass, two Arkansas fishermen...
...According to Lindsey, for bass fishermen, Bussey Brake “is the place where dreams come true.”
In three days last week, the pair – Lindsey from Judsonia, Ark., and Glass from Searcy, Ark. – landed six double-digit largemouths from the 2,200-acre reservoir near Bastrop in northeast Louisiana. On March 24, Lindsey boated a 12.84-pound lunker; he followed it up the next day with an 11.02-pounder. On March 26, he caught bass weighing 10.25, 10.86, 10.44 and 9.54 pounds. But it was the monster that Glass caught, 15.08 pounds, 26 ¼ inches long, 24 inches in girth, which got a lot of attention.
Glass’s huge bass is the third-largest caught since the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries reopened the lake in 2020 after it took over the lake in 2013 from International Paper. Sid Wilde of Robert caught a 15.78-pound bass on March 8, 2024, eclipsing a 15.36-pound bass caught Feb. 26, 2023 by Robert Rush of Crossett, Ark.
Their five biggest fish weighed 56.17 pounds, and Lindsey said they caught six more bass that weighed 8 pounds or better the same day. Their 10-fish limit, he said, would have weighed between 96 and 98 pounds. All the fish were caught on bushes or willow trees.
