May 2 is a day Zach Schubert is not likely to forget. Schubert, 37, of Earlton, N.Y., is an avid fisherman. He was able to accomplish his “catch of a lifetime,” hauling in a 55-pound Hudson River striped bass that measured 50¾ inches.
Getting on the Hudson right after work that day, Schubert anchored his center console boat in approximately 20 feet of water in Catskill.

Until 20 years ago, opening day of bass season was a big deal at Cross Creek Lake, a Big Bass Program impoundment in Washington County, Pa.
Anglers would arrive the second Saturday in June eager to target trophy-size largemouths after a two-month moratorium during the spawn.
“Opening day of bass was almost like opening day of trout,” recalled Mike Milvet, owner of Cross Creek Bait & Tackle in Avella.

We were after walleyes, no question about it. While we did catch one keeper, the real story that day were the bay’s well reputed smallmouth bass. They hit jigs tipped with fatheads, crawlers or plastics. Didn’t matter the bait, those fish hit mostly willingly. I don’t know how many. We didn’t count nor measure, but they were healthy fish that did their all in maintaining the smallmouth’s reputation for battling anglers.
