what is the biggest fish?
I live in florida and I fish a "private lake" that hardly anyone fishes. The main forage is bluegill, and tilapia. I have already caught an 8 pounder that was close to 2 feet long. What do you think the chances are of a bass about 14 pounds existing in my lake? I figure since it is a low pressure lake, the fish might get bigger. I know it is probably unlikely but its nice to think about that.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks, |

100 acres is pretty big...i think you have a chance to catch a big one.

Well, that 25-1 monster was caught in a 70 acre lake out in California. I'd say the chances are pretty good.

Yup, fish something big, I used to live on a 10 acre retention pond in north florida, and we caught eights occasionally.
