    Before Spinners became the luxiourious place that it is. Donny Fowler ran the place. It was a boat landing, & adirty old bait store (like I like em). There was a 58lber on the wall that was caught in the gap in 1984 I think. Murray had some hawgs in it pre earthquake let down. Some big fish died, but with the herring population thriving, I feel certain there is a 70-80 lb fish that never comes out of 80 ft of water lurking down there.

    20 years ago, 25 lb fish were commonplace.

    Then cam the Center console boats, riding, and chasing, and riding, and chasing. and riding, and chasing....

    I gauranfuckintee theres one that big or bigger in Clarks hill and Russell.

    Can't afford the NEW spinner's. The old one had character. Most uneven floors I ever seen in a place.

    Yep, dig long enough, and you will find it. Donny passed away in Swansea about 12 years ago. He and my dad fish together alot.

    I am not fan of the new spinners, but have lots of great memories of weigh ins, and saturdays around when it was fowlers.

    I asked for 74+ lb fish pictures, not Duke Kirkland pictures. There were, after all, a good many of them (74+ lb fish, not Duke Kirklands).....

    DNR has collected deceased fish that weighed up to 83lbs when the lake turned over in the early 90's.

    I personally have never seen one from there that would go 70, I saw 3 fish that pushed 60 when I was in middle school. 89ish

    So you're saying no one ever caught one of these 74+ lb fish?
