Local angler snags a big one

Pictured is Eric Breedlove of Coushatta with his 10.4 pound bass caught June 11, 2024, on Grand Bayou Reservoir. Breedlove plans to have a replica of the fish made under the Grand Bayou Resort’s Lunker program.

The resort and Grand Bayou Reservoir District will pay for replicas of any fish caught at the lake over 10 pounds. If the fisherman wants a replica, the fish must first be officially weighed by resort personnel, then returned to the lake alive and in good condition.
