According to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Fisheries Biologist Mark Deleray, a local angler may have caught the oldest largemouth bass reported in Montana.
Deleray said that 10-year old Garrett Frost of Kalispell reported catching and releasing a 20-22” largemouth bass in Rose Creek Slough on July 16, 2011 weighing approximately 3.5 lbs. He pulled out the red floy tag numbered 5637 prior to releasing the fish. Fishery Worker Jon Cavigli checked the database and found that the bass had carried this floy tag for 14 years.
