That would be a 6.35 lb. average. I would have to see that weigh in live to believe it. I’m not saying its not possible, but really difficult. I searched the DNR website to see what permits were pulled for Big stone lake and the only one shown was the MTT Walleye one.

It was a club tournament out of South Dakota side of the lake.
Um wow, that’s a big bag if true. Bet that was a fun day on the water.
Glacial Lakes Bass is the club that put the tournament on. The largest fish weighed in was a 7.00, but not by the winning team. The winning team’s biggest fish was 6.55, which means the average of their other 4 fish averaged 6.3lbs. Crazy

Damn. That is a quite a bag. Didn’t realize Big Stone has largies like that.
Here is the winning teams picture with their fish.
3 of the 5 fish appear to be very large. The other 2 not so much.

Not sure there’s any reason to doubt that weight. No first-hand knowledge, but I saw one comment about the fact that the winning team might have picked the wrong fish to weigh for their lunker. That their largest fish may have been 7+. Could see that happening if they were so giddy about their total weight.
14 teams had at least one fish over 5 lbs. That In itself is very impressive.
Damn that’s a good bag any where.I wish it were closer.
Someone always has to be negative…maybe the scale was off a bit. That’s a lot of 5+ lb fish with seemingly none under 2-3 lbs based on all the averages.
Need great structure to grow fat largies-think that fertile water and big boulders are key.
I was wondering what Al Franken was doing after politics…??
OH Ivie of the upper midwest 
For the guys doubting it…I have no idea what I am doing bass fishing and its not hard to catch 4 pounders. The guys that actually know what they are doing don’t get excited unless they break 6. Last year or the year before it took 28 pounds to win. Most tournaments take right around 25 to win out there and that’s when the fish are post spawn generally. Our bass are built like cinder blocks.
I guess this will be on my radar for now on
A lake that size with Fish like that – I’m surprised that its not on some of the major tourneys yearly list. If word of this gets out, I think it most likely will be soon.
I seen a few pictures of some smallies from that lake. So they are in there now as well.
It’s been a number of years since I have fished it. But it used to get very green in the summer.
Oh its still a weed mess lake in the summer lol, But yeah its a awesome lake.
