[turkeyhunter835]

I would have fell out of the boat from shaking so bad if I would have hooked that big girl...

 

[MariettaNole]

Wow!

 

[kmckinnie]

Nice fish.

 

[Carolina rig]

I would gladly take one even half that size. Man what a fish.

Looks like same place where a 15 lbs was caught last year.

I use to know where the key was hid when they locked the gate, I bet you did too.

 

[lagrangedave]

It's off Happy Valley Circle in Coweta, Named after Bill Brown owner of the famous Cole shop in Newnan.

I use to cut firewood on this property before the lake was ever built and started fishing there in 1987 before there was a gate.

 

[blood on the ground]

Nice fish for sure!

 

[Luckybuck]

Yes indeed.

 

[GaMudd]

[spud]

Did you release it?

 

[slant8]

Smashed the Tennessee record bass ... Wow nice bass!

 

[Lukikus2]

That's a grown one! Only in my dreams so far. High five to the angler. Those pics keep me spending my money lol

 

[Lindseys Grandpa]

The crazy thing is they drained that lake down to creek bed about 5 years ago, and there now has been 2 over 15 caught in last year.

 

[Joel]

A true once in a lifetime fish! Congrats to the angler!

 

[mtr3333]

Awesome catch. This already has been a surprising year for big fish.

 

[NCHillbilly]

I have just cleaned up this thread. How about keeping the negative stuff to yourselves, if you can't be happy for the man catching an awesome fish. This thread is not gonna go that way. Last warning.

 

[bassin908]

Great fish, i got my permit this morning,this it a couple times last week.Call and check if your outta county, they are thinking of making it for Coweta only like it says on web site

 

[Greene728]

I sure hope they do something. I'm very happy for the angler. But the simple truth is this lake is too small for the amount of pressure its gonna get and already getting.
Awesome catch!
