Ebrahim Ali Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 I get excited everytime i catch a bass,it doesnt matter what size it is Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted June 3, 2012 Super User Posted June 3, 2012 The avg. size around here is 1 to 2 pounds. Any bass in the 3 or 4 pound range is camera time, and anything 5 pounds or over is something to call home about. Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted June 3, 2012 Super User Posted June 3, 2012 I usually get excited over anything over 2.5lbs. I caught 2 today that were over 4lbs. I just enjoy catching anything really. I moved to Jacksonville from NJ and EVERYTHING here I have caught has been bigger than the biggest I caught in NJ. I LOVE FLORIDA BASS FISHING!!! Quote
vapredhunter Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Every bite gets me excited then when they get in the boat if there big thats even better. I treat each bite as if its a new state record and happy just to catch one. Quote
etommy28 Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 I catch plenty of big fish, but im excited over every keeper i catch. I just love that pull at the end of my line. Quote
ChiCityBasser Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 I enjoy them at the 2-2.5lb mark more than the dinks now but have had a 5-5.5lb fish in a couple of the smaller local lakes and those get a photo op chance. Quote
Brand0n Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 my pb is a 6lb 1oz and 2 summers ago i caught 4-5lbers all day long 2-3 times a week on a 10" worm. nothing else. really tho i think any bite and size excites me especially when i fish a pressured lake and i work so much to get a bite i get hyped up, then if i lose that fish i get ticked lol Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted June 6, 2012 Super User Posted June 6, 2012 I caught this 4.10# in my back yard today. He put up a really good fight I thought it was gonna get away from me Quote
piscicidal Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 When II see a green fish with "shoulders", I start getting excited...about 5lbs. Quote
JoePhish Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Just to answer your question in the proper fashion I'll say 3lbs. However, it's not usually the size of the fish that gets me excited but the size of the fight. I get more kicks from catching one on a long cast than I do with a short pitch. The other day I caught one that weighed 1lb 7oz on a lipless crank, a lure that I can really zing out there, that made my day. Thing was like a mini football with a bad attitude, which is good compared to the typical "all head" fish that seem all too common. Quote
bassmaster3541 Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Every time I see the line jump it gets me excited, but the size I get excited about is 4-5+, dpending on the day. If it's my first 4 in the last few days I get excited but usually it takes something bigger than 5 to get me pumped up, I love catching them all though Quote
donovanl12 Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Anything over 2 pounds is a good fish for me, anything over 5 pounds is great! Quote
Mike__D Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Anything over 4 lbs happy, anything over 5 pee my pants happy!!! Mike D Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted June 8, 2012 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted June 8, 2012 If I'm fishing topwater, every strike gets the blood pumping. If your talking size only, it has to be over 6. 5 pounders are pretty common in the mud puddles I fish most. Quote
North Ga Hillbilly Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 It all depends on the body of water. I have several places I dont even bother weighing a 7 pounder, I also have a pond up the road from the apt that I called the girlfriend and made her come take a pic of a 3 pounder because it was a monster for this 1/4 acer of water. Its all relative. NGaHB Quote
PR_BASS_ANGLER Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Maaan, I get excited when get a bite!!! Lol! Quote
MrSwimJig Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 I alos get excited when I get a bite and pretty much catch anything. But really anything over 3lbs really gets the blood pumping good! Quote
Mattlures Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 It depends on when, where, and on what. If I am at a known dink lake then a 5 makes me happy. If I get a 5 while trophy hunting then its a minor let down. But in general anything over 12 gets me pretty exited and over 15 makes me shake. If that ever goes away, I am done. Quote
scrutch Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Just as I cannot comprehend how billionaires live, I cannot comprehend catching a 15 pounder. I would not be able to contain my excitement. You think Ike screams? Hah! To get me to that point of excitement, I think ten pounds would be the threshold. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted June 8, 2012 Super User Posted June 8, 2012 For us folks in Tennessee, a 15 pounder would be the new state record and we'd have our picture in the paper.... Quote
mjhutch1116 Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 I have been fishing for about 36 years now and I still get excited for every fish. My excitement starts with the bite and does not stop until the fish is in the boat or on the bank. Now for some ike style excitement that would come when my son catches his first bass 2lbs or up he has caught plenty of dinks just nothing of good size yet, I almost jump out of my skin when he sets the hook and starts fighting a fish I am jumping up and down grabbing the net and when he lands the fish I yell and scream for him. I love to see the look on his face when he catches a fish. Matt Quote
mrmacwvu1 Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 brookie fishing is my first love so anything over 8 inches and i am happy Quote
outdoorsman110 Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 5lb. My pb is 11 from when I was little fishing with dad. Quote
jslacker Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Any size fish will do it for me, as long as I'm outside. Quote
