Interestingly enough, this 11 - 11 LMB was actually caught this date (11/11) a few years ago.
This SMB PB went 6-4.
And for another coincidence, BR member Dwight Hottle took both these pics.

I'll never know her official weight, but she was a giant and I'll never forget it. (and since length and girth put her at 10.4 I like to tell myself I've caught a DD bass!)
My PB smallmouth only weighed 4.2lbs but she was 23" long, old as dirt, and one mean son of a gun!
The clock is tickin' ....
This one went 5-12, even though it doesn't look like it. I know I look drunk, but it was 98 degrees out, towards the end of a long day.
This went 8-1, and was a PB for less than 24hrs. And then....
This 9-1 became my PB...
No pictures of my PB, she was 13.8
Here's a couple of Hawgs of mine & my grandson Aiden.
For reference I'm 6' tall
The last one is a personal best cause she won me $5,000!
I don't have pictures of my PB, they were all ruined including the negatives when a broken water pipe flooded the room where I kept that stuff, in those days there were no digital pics available. She was 6.600 kg ( 14.52 lbs ), I do have a pic of my 2nd largest:
13.5 lbs ( 6.14 Kg )
My personal best LMB is 7.12: didn't get a pic. Here are a few of my bigger bass. All around 5-6 pounds.
And, my PB smallmouth didn't deserve a weight. I've only caught a couple lmao
Here are a couple of pictures of what I think was the largest smallmouth I've taken here in MA. I've definitely taken bigger largemouths, but I can't seem to find the pics? Oh well, here's a nice smallie (2 pics, same fish):
PB freshwater striper, only striper in the reservoir, actually! 14# (and yes, I released it, to the dismay of the fisheries biologist who wanted to check its age and all that).
This lady was 7.5# caught during spawn in thick salad.
Pics of PB's for a lot of the older guys, like myself, may not be possible. I would say my top 10 or so PB's were caught back in the day when we didn't have cameras on our phones. I did get pics of my best fish from the last couple years though. Both were caught at LOZ from the same creek 1 year apart. Both of them were taken sight fishing while on beds so I got a quick pic and released both without weighing.
Last years (top) took about half an hour to catch. This years (bottom) only took about 5 or 6 pitches before she'd seen enough.
Just got back from buying a leftover 2015 Ranger RT188, pick it up next Saturday.
Has a 115hp Mercury Optimax, so maxed out there. Will be changing out the electronics just don't know what I want yet.
Now have to figure out break in for the engine and how will pull that off.
I heard on good authority that Glenn's name has only one "n" but tries to hide his true identity online.
I heard that 00mod lives in Mexico and the big bass he posts are not from the states like he pretends.
A-jay licks his fish when he turns the camera off.
Dwight's biological parents had gills.
Jfranco was born a women and moonlights as a tiny dancer.
Shimmy posts the same fish in every picture.
PB was caught last year on a black and blue flappin' hog just pitched into the pads she hit it on the fall and the picture doesnt do her justice she was at least 6
Went out on this morning and with-in 10 minutes had a new personal best! 6lb club here I am (barely)! While I know others have double that or if you are @WRB triple it. But it feels great! I caught it on a 1/8 shakey head with a Berkley Shakey Snake in GP with Chart tip. Very odd bite too. At first I thought I was hung up in some grass as I was hoping it along and all of a sudden it got heavy, in my head I knew it was something different cause I hesitated before popping it free. Then it tugged back and I reeled down and set the hook and drag went a screaming. I kept my composure which is not like me and got him in! This may sound odd but I shoved my whole fist in his mouth just because. Funny thing is I rarely carry a scale but had it today, thank god.
All the talk recently about crankbaits I thought it would be good to show some of the old cranks some love.
Don't even know where I bought but it's been in my crank box for years. It's a Strike King Balse Crank.
More to come

On a quick Walmart trip picked up 3 lipless in my new favorite color. Excited to toss the spots as I have never thrown one before, RES is my current #1 lipless bait.
