Barrett Lake record
I forget it’s been awhile, but what’s the record bass here? Does anyone know of where it was caught? We’re not trying to catch but need to settle an argument. I don’t know where it was but my buddy says it was caught at Becky’s Cove?

Re: Barrett Lake record
Probably will never know, it may have been caught during off season

Re: Barrett Lake record
12lbs and change as far as I know. It wasn't caught on rod and reel or even while fishing so I don't know if you'd count it, but it was released safely.
No clue what the actual fishing record is. Have personally caught and weighed many 8lb and change fish. Never caught or witnessed a 9lb+ class fish there.
The lake needs like a 14-16 inch slot limit with a mandatory 2 LMB harvest per angler so the fish can grow bigger tbh. Used to catch numerous 6-8lb a season, now I feel incredibly lucky to catch a single 6lb.

Re: Barrett Lake record
Agree with MistrRocko that some harvesting is needed to get bigger bass but that won’t ever happen. I have a 9lb out of there, caught in August of 2019. It measured 25 inches after it bottomed out my cheap scale at 8lbs. Did the old measurements formula which said 9+ but I’m rounding down. It was definitely an anomaly in my 30 years of fishing there (since the year it reopened and getting a postcard picked out of a true lottery). My biggest fish other than that one might be a 5. I want to say one of the rangers there has said a 14 is the record but I could be wrong.
