When James Allen of Crystal Springs headed to Calling Panther Lake on Feb. 26, he had his sights set on landing a lunker largemouth. And since his neighbor, David Howell had just broken the old lake record the previous weekend with a 27 ½-inch-long, 14-pound, 1-ounce trophy Allen knew that the time was right to be wetting his line in the waters of the lake near his home.
