BP's Thoughts: I consider a big bass in MN as anything bigger than 19" or over 4lbs. Generally in Tournaments the Big Bass will be a 4 to 5lb fish with an occasional 6lber. The way the year started out I really thought I was gonna slay the big bass but I would say the results ended up just being OK and just about the same as 2003; I didn't keep track of big fish in 2003 to know for certain. I just could not find the big fish or larger concentrations of fish in Platte this year despite the fact I spent far more time in Platte than Sullivan. By the numbers it is clear that Sullivan was my best bet for big bass this year.
I didn't match my big bass of 2003 which was a 21"monster out of Platte. My biggest fish in 2004 were all about 20.5 and came from Sullivan, Rock, Mille Lacs, and West Rush. The biggest smallmouth were caught the same day during the Team Bass Tournment on Koronis.
