He said 10% of fishing is know how well he knew how to use that know how he kept going back out there after that one fish he might have had 10% know how but 100% stick-to-itiveness thank you for posting this video he would have been a great guy to know.
They showed the plug he caught it on. There is a gas station/ bait shop in celina Tn that sells them to this day. It's actually about 5 minutes from the boat dock he launched from.
Could you imagine today's generation catching a fish like that... He came from one of the greatest generations ever. Hope folks remember the traditions of our country including our Lord and Savior The Lord Jesus Christ. Time to put down the cell phones and pick up our KJV Bible's and get on our knees and pray for this country before our traditions are gone
Tell me why kentucky gets to claim the bass? Sure he lived in Kentucky but he launched the boat and weighed the fish from a Tennessee boat dock. Seems like both states could claim it
Both states do claim it. It was weighed on the certified scales in Tennessee. But the area of the lake he actually caught it in is in Kentucky, as Dale Hollow Lake is in both Tennessee and Kentucky.
Mr. Hayes passed away the other day July 7, 2020 RIP Mr. Hayes, may your record forever stand

Great man. Great Lake. Great fish
I have been to his house and seen the mount of the fish. One really nice guy!
My dad mowed his lawn for years. Mr. Hayes used to fly an ultralight around his hometown in Leitchfield.
Smallmouth Bass are my favorite fish❤🎣
I just got this Awesome Video across my YT feed. Thank you for this Awesome Inspirational Video! FishOutLoud!
Love Dale Hollow Lake, Fished many times. Most beautiful of all the Lakes in that area.
Great story and interview!
Great fishing story hope it will never die. RIP David L Hayes. Smallmouth Bass 11.90 pds. and caught it on ?

Dale Hollow is a deep clear mountain lake , it's tough lake to pattern.
Great video.

It wasn’t mounted in Chicago it was mounted in ky
Godspeed Sir
That's 4 times the weight of my pb smallmouth bass... Incredible
Wise fisherman.
Where can I find the full video of the first part
Wow. That’s crazy, they had lost the fish twice before landing it the third time
Wonder what his 2nd biggest fish was...
Shit serious when someone fishes a spot for a wk and nothing,he comes rolling in and bam SON! World record
I wish they would've been able to keep this fish alive.
Mr Hays is one silver fox!!
Man I caught a 8 pounder and I didn’t know that was a 3 pounds under.
Oh don't worry that fish made babies a few times guarantee that DNA is still swimming in that body of water
Facts
Simcoe, Osoyoos, or Dworshak will produce the next World Record smallie
He passed away ;(
I fish at dell hollow

Wonder what would become of the fish if it were caught today, certainly not killed
Shame it didnt get to breed more. No shade at Mr. Hayes it was a different time
