Annual Glory Hole Sports fishing seminar will be held in our parking lot on Saturday April 6th, 2013.
Last week Mel Caldwell caught and
released what would have been the new lake record spotted bass. Mel was
trolling a blue/silver Trophy Stick when he hooked and landed a
beautiful 8-pound, 8-ounce spot. For Glory Hole Sports to recognize a
lake record fish it must be weighed on one of our scales and verified by
a store employee. A lake record fish is only good for bragging rights.
We encourage catch and release, so we will recognize Mel Caldwell's
8-pound, 8-ounce lunker as the unofficial lake record.
The New Lake Record Spotted Bass was caught this week.
Mike Sanders of Hughson caught a massive 8-pound, 3-ounce lunker on
Thursday. He was fishing a main lake point when he hook and landed this
record fish. He reported catching it in the early morning on a
Huddleston R.O.F. 12, rainbow trout patterned swim bait.
The previous record was caught by Joe Bruce of Sonora. He caught this massive 8-pound 1-ounce fish on a crank bait while fishing near Morman creek. 
The current state record was caught by Bryan Shishido on April 21, 2001 out
of Pine Flat Lake. It weighed 10-pounds, 4-ounces. If you catch a fish
that is larger, and want it to be recognized as a state record, it must
be weighed on a certified scale. The post office or the grocery store
meat department has a certified scale. Unfortunately we only have a
printed picture of the fish. If anyone knows Mel have him call us. We
will include a picture in our newsletter once we receive one.
Please practice catch and release for the
brown trout also. They will no longer be planted so it is our
responsibility to help the population sustain.
Thanks - from all of us at Glory Hole Sports
