Texas fishing guide catches 8th heaviest largemouth bass in state history

A lake about an hour east of San Angelo has become one of the hottest bass fishing lakes in the U.S., and maybe even the world. For several years, O.H. Ivie Lake has consistently produced some of the biggest bass in Texas but last week, fishing guide Jason Conn landed a “historic” catch. Conn, of Anna, a city north of Dallas, reeled in a 17.03-pound largemouth bass — the eighth-heaviest largemouth bass ever caught in Texas — on Feb. 15 at O.H. Ivie Lake.
