Ish Monroe is known for
being the BBS – Big Bass Specialist. A not one,
but TWO-time member of the exclusive B.A.S.S. Century
Club, Monroe is one of the very few that has broken
the 100-pound mark in a B.A.S.S. tournament – and
remember, this was in the five-fish limit format.
Monroe has amazingly put together 104 pounds, 8 ounces on Amistad and then beat his own record with 108 pounds, 5 ounces on Okeechobee.
