State record: 16 pounds 2 ounces (tie): P.H. Flanagan, 1949, Lake Marion; Mason Cummings, 1993, private pond, Aiken County
Best water: Lakes Marion and Moultrie. “This population has the highest growth rate and the lowest mortality rate of any of our major reservoirs. In other words, they grow faster and live longer.”—Miller White, district fisheries biologist, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources
Contact: Randolph’s Landing, 803-478-2152
Sleeper: Lake Greenwood. “Although Greenwood gets fairly heavy fishing pressure from local fishermen, it’s not widely acclaimed and doesn’t attract fishermen from out of the area. During our spring sampling, we get consistently high catch rates of bass in robust condition.”
