I landed by far my personal PA best and the biggest largemouth I have ever seen with my own eyes come out of not just Marsh Creek but all of PA waters. I fished the first Tuesday Night Tournament of the year on 6/20 and I landed and weighed in a 22" 8.4 lb monster. Getting to experience the entire thing including my daughter netting it and weighing it in with me was great and a life long memory I will have with her. It was released unharmed after the weigh-in to live on in the lake and I hope if she is caught again some day that the angler who is lucky enough to get her will also repay her with another healthy release. Here is the link to the weigh-in video. youtu.be/mW_vfbewN-M Attachments:

I'd agree with all of the above....jealousy has struck this marshcreek angler! What a beaut! And what a great moment to experience with your daughter. Congrats man! Thanks for the safe release too

thanks guys! I appreciate the kind words. Matt, if I released my secrets then they wouldn't be secrets any longer. Just kidding! Lets just say no real surprise on what I caught her on.

zig, we took 2nd and lunker. Ten minutes after I landed that 8.4 I missed what felt like another nice fish, not 8.4 nice but I felt the weight and it felt big for sure but she came unbuttoned shortly after hookup. The funny part is my usual tournament partner took 1st with 3 fish just over 10 lbs.

That is so cool. What a great story and a great memory with your daughter.
Marsh Creek has some tanks in there, that's for sure. That's probably not the biggest fish in the lake either.

Wow that's crazy! I've never even heard of a bass that big being brought out of Marsh Creek.
