Ennis

Dollar Menu Bait

The unofficial record bass for Lake Bardwell, located directly south of Dallas in Ennis, TX, was recently caught on nothing less than a McDonald's McNugget. Weighing in at 11 pounds and 24.5 inches long, the bass was their first catch of the day and they took it quickly to their local marina. Ultimately, they threw the fish back in the lake claiming "I can almost guarantee you that fish will never eat another McNugget." As far as his next venture, Matthew McNellis says, "I might try some of Wendy's seasoned fries." Morale of the story: next time you make a fast food pit stop before heading out to fish, it just may be worth grabbing a couple extra items off the dollar menu.
