Pictured is Eric Breedlove of Coushatta with the 12.2 lb largemouth bass he caught on Grand Bayou Reservoir in Coushatta on July 17, 2026. Eric is a frequent fisherman on Grand Bayou and plans to have replica made of his fish.

Grand Bayou Resort and Grand Bayou Reservoir District will pay for replicas of any bass caught at the lake that is 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.
