Las Vegas Review-Journal First Ran This Story – If you have been dreaming about catching a smallmouth bass that will put a bend in your fishing rod, Lake Mohave is the place to go. The reservoir has long had a reputation for giving up large striped bass, but its reputation as a fishery is about to take a hard turn into smallmouth bass country.
On Saturday, my friend Tim Myers boated a jaw-dropping smallie that tipped the scales at an amazing 7.38 pounds while competing in the Nevada BASS Nation Team Trail tournament based out of Cottonwood Cove. That fish took the tournament’s big fish honors and put the Las Vegan Myers and his partner, Jesse Milicevic of Henderson, in the winner’s spot with a five-fish bag that weighed in at 22.21 pounds.
The second- and third-place teams weren’t far behind with bags that tipped the scales at 20.72 and 20.57 pounds, respectively, and seem to support Myers’ theory that it is going to take 20 pounds or more to win one-day tournaments on Lake Mohave. That’s an average of 4 pounds per fish.
