Ross Gomez and the big bass he calls “Queen Bertha” are back in the news again.
Gomez is a fun-loving angler from Post who spends a considerable amount of time fishing from the public dock at the Sam Wahl Recreation Area at Lake Alan Henry, a 2,900-acre impoundment located about 45 miles south of Lubbock. He owns a kayak but has enjoyed unimaginable success over the years fishing from the dock.
Queen Bertha is the nickname Gomez gave to a fish that can’t seem to keep its choppers off his fishing lures. The female bass has a serious weight problem. But that’s hardly what makes Gomez’ story so remarkable that some might find it hard to swallow.
