Bass angler Randy Pierson of Oakdale, Calif. landed a new lake record Sat., March 1. The catch credited with the honors was a 10-lb, 1-oz spotted bass. In an interview with Glory Hole sports it was reported that the previous record stood for only two weeks and that this was the third time it had been broken since July 2012.
Pierson brought the monster bass into the Glory Hole for official weight and measure. They confirmed the weight and a girth of 20-inches and a length of 26 1/4-inches.
They explained that Pierson was pre fishing the lake for next week's American Bass Team event on the lake and wouldn't not disclose the bait that lured in the big spot.
With three events behind him in the Mother Lode Region of the circuit, the team of Pierson and Pierson is leading the points standings. They are followed closely by the team of Paycheck Baits own Bub Tosh and Russell Herring.
