The Bass That Keeps on Biting

Just call it the big bass that keeps right on biting.

An 11.21 pound largemouth caught in late August on Toledo Bend Reservoir by Henry Boudreoux of Baton Rouge, La., has been caught and released at least two other times over the last 26 months.

Officials with the Toledo Bend Lake Association are certain of the bass’ history because it was wearing a plastic T-bar tag identifying it as the same fish that was entered in TBLA’s Lunker Bass Program by two other anglers in 2023. The tag is clearly visible on the right side of its back, next to the soft rayed dorsal fin.
