One Big Bite, Two Bucket-List Items Checked Off Thursday, March 4, 2021 Photo: Courtesy of Scott Stephens Scott Stephens said the 14.25-pounder he caught recently at Lake Conroe swam in circles like a shark before coming to the net. By Todd Ceisner Scott Stephens figures he can hold his breath for about 30 seconds. He knows this because he says thats roughly how long it took him to land a 14.25-pound bass at Lake Conroe last Friday during the Big Bass Tour hourly tournament and he doesnt recall exhaling until his son-in-law netted the fish and lifted it into the boat.
