Hook Line Sinker: Harman’s 15 Bass at Wolfe’s Reservoir
Fred Harman, an avid bass angler, records 15 big bass weighing 47 pounds at Wolfe’s Reservoir near Barbers Hill in Chambers County. He teases big fish with a blue pigboat spinner, recalls how wind and wily bass test skill, and notes this string marks his best catch yet from the reservoir. Harman’s passion shines as he bonds with his family over fishing and the thrill of the chase.
