Largest Smallmouth Bass in Michigan Caught in Hubbard Lake

Greg Gasiciel caught the 9.33-pound, 24.5 inches, smallmouth bass on Sunday during a local Bass Anglers of the Sunrise Side derby in Hubbard Lake, news outlets reported. The previous record of 9.25 pounds was set in 1906.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has confirmed a new state-record catch for smallmouth bass. This marks the sixth state-record fish caught so far in 2015.

State records are recognized by weight only. To qualify for a state record, fish must exceed the current listed state-record weight and identification must be verified by a DNR fisheries biologist.
