Fyrne Lake Farms Fish Catches
This 6.9 lb bass was caught just 5 minutes after Thurman Whitehead started fishing March 14th 2008. After borrowing a scale from another boat, Thurman weighed the fish and released it back into the lake.  As it swam away a fisherman in the boat who had loaned the scale said he could not believe he let it go! Thurman said, "I wouldn't dream of killing a beautiful fish like that."   Thank you Thurman!  And the next fisherman who catches that fish thanks you too!
