Personal Best Largemouth Bass

Type: Nontidal
Region: Western
Location: Lake Habeeb

I live in Cumberland, MD; Have a beautiful wife, Sara Snoberger; and 4 wonderful kids: Brian, Nevada, Cameron, and Hayden. Fishing has been a long time hobby of mine and I love to share it with my kids and take them out on the triton. All the many, long hours of grinding when the bite has shutoff finally paid off. This beautiful gem is my latest catch and by far the biggest. She weighed in at 8 lb 2oz and measured 22". I landed her on Lake Habeeb, aka Rocky Gap State Park at around 5:45 am just before sunrise. I waited until it was light enough out to get better pics, note the darkness in few pics then light. But I had to weigh her asap due to the shock of what I pulled out of that water. This fish has got me on the hook as much as I had her. Because, now I have to try and beat that catch and just keep this high alive. So I'll be out on the water freezing my fingers just for a chance to get a look at another one like this.

Shaun received a FishMaryland certificate for this catch. Congratulations!
