Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

As any tournament partners would, Greg Gasiciel and Scott Summerfield started their day fishing on Michigan's Hubbard Lake with the intention of catching the biggest bass possible. Little did they know that one of them would end up breaking the state's smallmouth record that was established more than 100 years ago. 

The pair was fishing in a local Bass Anglers of the Sunrise Side derby on Sunday, Oct. 18, 2015, when Gasiciel's green-colored twister-tail grub was engulfed by a giant smallie. The bass weighed 9.33 pounds (9 pounds, 5.28 ounces), according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, which verified the catch as the new state record the following evening.
