A lake about an hour east of San Angelo has become one of the hottest bass fishing lakes in the U.S., and maybe even the world. For several years, O.H. Ivie Lake has consistently produced some of the biggest bass in Texas but last week, fishing guide Jason Conn landed a “historic” catch. Conn, of Anna, a city north of Dallas, reeled in a 17.03-pound largemouth bass — the eighth-heaviest largemouth bass ever caught in Texas — on Feb. 15 at O.H. Ivie Lake.

Congratulations Jason thanks for not killing her and getting her stuffed. Good job bud the share lunker program will let her go when there finished with her.
And an Alabama rig? That's not even fishing
Live Scope will be the end of fishing as we know it.
17lbs. That ain't about anything. I kid, that's amazing. I was worried this baby was going to end up on a wall. Sounds like that is not the case, but then again, they didn't say if she would be released after spawning.
Damn good catch
He seems pretty sure that that God didn't put that bass there for one of his clients…lol yeah you can definitely teach someone how to use livescope with them having the rod and reel. I would have been super pissed if I paid you to take me out to catch some nice bass and you seen one that was so nice you weren't going to let me catch it.
17lbs? No way in hell.
pos didn't throw it back, you think im going to pay someone to tell me to grab the net?
Getting close to the world record set in 1923 it was 23 pounds .
Nice bass.
Doesn't look near 17 lbs maybe 13 lbs
Josh Jones catches a double digit a few times a week lol
Check it for PED’s the fisherman too
