Overview Ratings & Reviews

This book tells the story of David L. Hayes and his magnificent trophy smallmouth bass. This one fish has made history in many ways. Caught on the Tennessee/Kentucky State Line, both states have laid claim to David’s 11 pound beauty since its scales first felt dry air. There are many stories and rumors connected to this record-holding fish, but author Darren Shell got the story straight from the man who caught it.

From D. L. Hayes, the fishing history moves on to second and third place holders, John Gorman and Paul Beal. Shell reveals the stories behind each of these catches as well as giving the reader a glimpse of each man.

Also included are tips for catching smallies from Stephen Headrick, Billy Westmoreland, Bob Coan and the author. Accompanying this valuable angling information are maps of the lake, a listing of marinas and all manner of Dale Hollow Lake fishing information.

This book would be a great gift for anglers and a welcome addition to any serious fisherman’s collection.
