Lake Cameahwait in Fremont County is colloquially known as Bass Lake, and it’s also a favorite fishing spot for father-and-son duo John and Tucker Bass.
It’s got trout, muskie and “millions of perch,” Tucker, 12, told Cowboy State Daily.
But best of all, it’s got largemouth bass.
In August, Tucker caught a 2-pound, 4-ounce bass there. It set the new junior division 4-pound line class world record with the International Game Fish Association (IGFA).
John said they’ve been keeping the big fish on ice, waiting for the IGFA to officially certify the record. And the certification finally came through a few days ago.
Tucker said they plan to cook it his favorite way, “deep fried.”
John said he’s ready to dig in.
“We planned on eating the fish as soon as we got official approval of the world record. And now we’ll have a world-record dinner,” he said.
