Boy Lands New KS Record Bass

A 14-year-old Kansas boy has laid claim to the states new largemouth bass record after landing a 11 pounds, 12.8 ounce bucketmouth from a private strip pit in Cherokee County.

Tyson Hallam took the fish during the West Mineral Eagles fishing tournament with a jig and pig combo May 3.

The bass barely topped the old record of 11 pounds, 12 ounces, a fish caught by Kenneth Bingham in 1977

Hallam's bass measured 28 inches in length and had a girth of 19 1/8 inches.
