ENNIS, Texas -- A Texas couple are crediting McDonald's for helping them land a record-setting bass.

After initially failing to get a bite, Matthew McNellis told KDAF his girlfriend suggested using a Chicken McNugget as bait.

That's when he reeled in a 24.5-inch-long bass weighing nearly 11 pounds.

McNellis says he took the bass to Highview Marina where it was declared a record-setting catch at Lake Bardwell.

Now that's a McFish!

The couple tossed the bass back into the water and McNellis says he may try using seasoned french fries from Wendy's as bait next time.

That was a big bass. I seen the article AND the fish. I'd bet close to half it's body weight was eggs though. It was one very plump female getting ready to spawn.

Speaking of odd baits:  Rock cod on the Pacific coast are the dumbest most aggressive biters I know.  They will bite almost anything, from a bare hook to anything you put on it.  We used to make cod jigs out of foot long pieces of bicycle handle bars filled with lead, metal chair legs, copper tubing...  A friend had an inlander fishing with him one day when they were using frozen herring as bait.  He bet the fellow that he could catch a rock cod on gum wrapper.  Put gum wrapper on his hook, lowered the "bait/lure" and immediately caught a rock cod.  Also, they are superb  eating.
