craww Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 11lbs 4oz on a grass stalker jig w/a flapping hog trailer. "Fishing Drew" and I caught 3 DD's off the same laydown in one day w/another 6 over 8lbs...Every big prespawn fish in the lake was on that tree that day lol. I had just had my wisdom teeth out the day before and was on the fence about heading out, glad I did! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 25, 2013 Global Moderator Posted May 25, 2013 My biggest largemouth from my home state is 7lbs 14ozs on a Yum Wooly Bug in a brushpile. Biggest ever is this one at 10lbs 2ozs from Lake Comendero, Mexico on an 8" Zoom Lizard. I'm stuck on 5lbs for smallmouth, I've beat the odds and caught 3 smallmouth that weighed exactly 5 pounds. 2 from Milford Lake, KS, one on a Lucky Craft Slender pointer 97MR and one on a Zoom Trick Worm on a slider head. The most recent was this one from Melvern Lake, KS on a Lucky Craft CBS Zero Quote
Fish Chris Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 First post! I just caught it today in South Florida on a Rapala Rattle Trap (fire tiger color) Didnt get to weigh it. What do you think? Tshare, welcome First off, that is a very nice bass, anywhere in the country My guess would be 7-8'ish ? But what I think, is that because you didn't weight it, you now have no idea how big your PB was.... nor what to shoot for, to top it. For a lot of people, this would not be a big deal. It would freaking kill me. I'm just very into stats. Plus, when some jealous hater says, "Yea'... but your holding it out to make it look bigger...." You can tell them, regardless of where I was holding it, it weighed xx.x lbs" Continued success to you Fish 1 Quote

LARGEMOUTH ANGLER Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Can you share some pictures of that 15+ bass? I would love to see it. Unfortunately I don't have that picture, it was taken with one of my friends phone at the time and im no longer his friend or talk to him. I will post picture of the new ones I catch. Quote

Basswhippa Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 25.5" long with an 18.5' girth. Gut hooked her with a shiner at Okeechobee in 2011. She weighed 9.4 pounds on a high dollar bathroom scale 30 hours after I had caught her. She was on ice probably 24 of those 30 hours. Think it could have been a 10 pounder 30 hours earlier? I'll never know. I mounted her. Two monthbs ago I caught a 24.25 " bass with a 17" girth out of Guntersville. Estimated 8.3 pounds. Released. Lost one about a month ago that made the both of these look like a minnow. Fishing Guntersville. Got a great look at her and she looked like those 12 pounders they pull from Falcon. Best guess is she was between 11 and 14, but if I had to say, between 12 and 13. We pullled the 25.5 incher down off the wall and held her out about 15 feet like we saw the other, and again, she looked like a minow in comparison. Quote

I'm going to buy a handheld digital one. How accurate are they? I had my friend who was on the boat take the picture and he told me how to hold the bass so he could take the picture now that I look at it,it does seem to make the fish look a little bigger. I'm not worried about what other people think anyway. I've had a few people tell me somewhere around 8 lbs but then I heard a 6 lb and a 10lb so If I had to guess I would say it was around 7-8 like you said. My goal is to get one over 10 lbs one day. Thanks again. Quote
tshare18 Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Went today by myself and pulled this guy out of the water. I tried taking the best pic I could considering I was by myself and wanted to get my face in the pic. I was using the same thing as my last personal best. (fire tiger rattle trap) I was going to buy a digital scale this weekend too. So another bass that I cant get an official weight on. This one was bigger then the last one though. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted May 29, 2013 Super User Posted May 29, 2013 Man you are on them! Keep at it and get that scale!!!! Jeff 1 Quote
