The KSL Outdoors Snapshot of the Week for May 30, 2026 shows off a beautiful sunset and a giant largemouth bass. Kade Richens and his buddy, Easton Roberts love to fish the Uinta Basin. Kade says it doesn't matter the species, these two just love to fish. On this evening fishing trip, Kade was slow-rolling a bait near the bottom when he got hit. He says once this fish hit the surface, the fight was a true rodeo! Kade and Easton were able to land this giant, 7-pound largemouth and grab a stunning picture. The fish is a personal best for Kade. What a night to remember boys!
