Brian Miller of Central Islip, NY caught this awesome Largemouth bass on opening day 2006. It was caught at Upper Yaphank Lake on Long Island.

The name Yaphank is taken from an Indian name which means the bank of a river.

The fish was caught on a plastic sunfish made by Storm Lures. After a quick photo it was safely released to be caught another day!
