Max Aldi, 11, is a die-hard fisherman. Max loves to fish every single day. During a nice calm and hot afternoon on June 9, 2025, Max and his buddy decided to walk to the neighborhood pond in Houma, La., to test his luck. It wasn’t long after 4:30 in the afternoon when Max got the bite of his life. With the help of his little friend, Manning, Max was able to reel in a nice 11-pound 2-ounce bass measuring 15 inches long. Max was using his favorite Strike King crankbait, which he just recently lost while attempting to catch another bass.
