Fourteen-year-old Luke Mulholland of Zumbrota landed an 8-pound 10-ounce largemouth bass of 23.5 inches in length and 18.5 inches in girth on October 3 while fishing alone from the bank at Cascade Lake in Rochester. The fish missed Minnesota’s certified record of 8 pounds 15 ounces, caught October 3 2005 at Auburn Lake in Carver County, by five ounces. He typically seeks trout but that day used a Bucca Baits Trick Shad glide bait six inches long, later confirming the weight at Silver Lake Foods before deciding to mount the catch.
