New State Record Largemouth Bass Caught in Harlan Co Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Frankfort, KY - Evarts resident Mark Ward went fishing after work on Good Friday, April 19, at 6-acre Highsplint Lake in Harlan County with his wife and 9-month-old daughter. It rained all day in Harlan County on Good Friday, but finally cleared up just before he got off work. The water in Highsplint Lake grew a bit murky from the rain, but he saw a nice-sized 4-pound bass in the shallows. "I pitched a lizard in there and the 4-pounder showed interest," Ward said. "Then, another came in and looked like a big log. The 4-pound fish triggered her to pick it up. I set the hook and it was on. Good Friday turned into a great Friday for me." It was the first cast of the day for Ward and produced the new Kentucky record largemouth bass, a 14-pound, 9.5-ounce brute.

She tried a text and it did fine. I tried to call her number and got a beeping sound. A second call effort to my number from another phone resulted in a message that mine was not a valid number. I clicked the DuoBroadband side logo on ColumbiaMagazine.com in hopes that I could live chat.
