Santee bass was biggest of the day for Abernethy

Gary Abernethy of Ashville, N.C. made a trip to the Santee Cooper lakes this past weekend. And on Saturday, March 27, he was rewarded for making the trip. He caught an 8-pound, 8-ounce largemouth.

Abernethy said the fishing was good, but the catching was a little bit tough overall. But, that’s all a part of the game, he said.

“Sometimes you just have to gas up and go where they live. Santee was stingy on bites but gave up a few nice ones, seems to be a late spring there. This one was 8-pounds, 8-ounces,” he said.
