Big Bass from the C&O Canal

Type: Nontidal
Region: Central
Location: C&O Canal

I fished both Swains Lock and Pennyfield Lock. No luck at Swains Lock, thought I had a yellow perch follow my spinner bait. Pennyfield Lock is where I finally caught a nice 5-6 lb largemouth bass on a plastic worm. It was my only fish of the day and I released my fish after a good fight.
