 Larry Norris with a huge bass.
Larry Norris caught this huge bass from a managed Butler County pond. It is not surprising that a well-managed Alabama pond produces giant fish, but Larry caught this fish on August 10, 2010, during one of the hottest dog day summers on record.

Huge bass comes from fishing managed ponds with lots of forage, and from great anglers like Sara Helms.
