Dead River Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Post photos of your double digit black bass. Nothing under 10 lbs please. Here are mine. Two were donated, which I would never do again. The others were released. Please disregard the over extended jaw photos near the bottom, as you can see I have long since learned how to properly hold them. The jaw hold on the F1 below is very appropriate. F1 Largemouth 10 lbs 8 oz 24" x 20.5" (total length) 02/29/12 Largemouth 10 lbs 10z - - w/ channel catfish in throat - 02/22/12 Not measured! DOH! I believe this fish is an FX F1 Largemouth - 10 lbs 1 oz 25" x 18 7/8" girth (total length) -02/15/12 Largemouth 12 lbs 4 oz 25" x 21 1/8" (tail open) - 02/09/12 my PB - I'm leaning toward FX Largemouth - 10 lbs plus (10.37) 25"x19" (tail open) - 02/02/12 I am almost positive this is an F1 Fx Largemouth 10 lbs 25 1/8" x 18 1/4" (tail open) 04/09/09 Fx Largemouth 10 lbs 8 oz 26"x19" -tail open-- 03/12/09 Fx Largemouth 10 lbs 3 oz 26"x19" -tail open-- 03/11/09 The biggest framed bass I have ever caught, my pb is comparable but this fish is a tad bigger, imagine if she had a huge distended gut. 8 Quote

NEjitterbugger Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Sorry couldn't find any pics of my 10 pounders 5 Quote
MarksHooked Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Excellent pictures! Thank you for sharing Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted February 1, 2014 Super User Posted February 1, 2014 Nice pics gentlemen. It's a fishing goal of mine to submit a DD, pic on a thread like this. Dead River are those the only DD you have caught? If not, how many have you landed? Quote
Dead River Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 I have only landed 8 double digit bass. I have lost two fish for sure that were double digits and another that is questionable. I know a fellow here in Georgia that has caught over 200 double digit fish - he's an amazing fisherman, not some hyperbolized thing you read about in a magazine but the real thing. My accomplishments pale in comparison to someone like that but it doesn't mean that I'm not proud of my eight big fish. Jeff and Dwight, those Mexican bass are awesome. If and when I have the coin I would love to fish down there. Thanks for sharing your fish of a lifetime. Keep the photos coming guys. N.B. the additional photo postings are alternate views of the 8 fish in the original post. I had intended to give several pictures of each fish in one post. keep the pigbeasts coming guys! I'm waiting on the California guys to get in on the act, w/ no bbcode on this forum that could be kinda time consuming for some of those trophy hunters Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted February 1, 2014 Super User Posted February 1, 2014 MANNNNNN those are some nice fish!! I have had my opportunities but just can't get my photo OP with em yet lol I plan to revisit this thread soon Quote

I'm still amazed by these fish man thanks for sharing!!! I have texted a bunch of my fishing buddies this link so they can be in awe as well, hey mods hope we get a few more members Do you remember what you caught some of these on? I'm just curious 1 Quote
Mainebass1984 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Those are some amazing fish. It makes us northern fisherman crazy just thinking about a 10 lb plus bass. I have never seen one in person or know anyone who has caught a 10lber up here in New England. An 8 lb northern largemouth is incredibly rare. That being said I am going for a 10 lber up here in New England. Some awesome pics guys. Really nice fish. Quote

Shane Procell Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I certainly do not mind showing off my first and only DD. Took me over 30 years of fishing to get her 10 Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted February 1, 2014 Super User Posted February 1, 2014 Hey Shane, brag a little. How much did she weigh? What did you catch her on? Did you pee your pants? Jeff 4 Quote
Shane Procell Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Hey Shane, brag a little. How much did she weigh? What did you catch her on? Did you pee your pants? Jeff C'mon Jeff...It was raining She hit a Gambler Big EZ on Lake Okeechobee in a field of kissimmee grass. Weighed a hair under 10-3/4. I had clients on board and the older gentlemen quit fishing. When I asked why he wasn't fishing...he told me was not going to make another cast unless I would pick up my rod and fish with him and his son. As soon as she hit...the young fella said there is your 10 pounder. It was a terrifying blast in the grass 5 Quote

I too prefer the guides to fish with me as well. And have had them catch fish bigger than my PB. Just lets me know they are down there!!!!! Jeff 2 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 2, 2014 Global Moderator Posted February 2, 2014 I once caught a new world record on a 1/16oz pink crappie jig at a private lake in Texas on a 5' crappie rod and 4lb test. I think I had a crappie hooked and she ate it on the way up. Anyways, couldn't get ahold of any certified scales or a Game Warden to weigh it so we just went ahead and filleted it and ate it over the campfire, sure tasted great! I have a picture somewhere but it might have been on that camera that Bigfoot ran away with after we stole his beef jerky from him on a camping trip in Ozarks.... My one and only DD fish was at Lake Commendero, Mexico. She should have been 13-14 pounds if she hadn't been on such a strict diet! 6 Quote
Dead River Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 I certainly do not mind showing off my first and only DD. Took me over 30 years of fishing to get her great fish, looks like you've enhanced your photo some as well, drop shadow or something. 10 pounders aren't as common on the big o as they used to be huh? Even if you're shiner fishing? I had a friend go out with Tom Mann and he caught a 9 lber on shiner which is pretty cool. I've always wanted to fish the big o. are there any huge bass in the glades? I've been told by biologists that southern florida isn't as good for giant bass as northern and central... Quote
Shane Procell Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Yes it was taken on a dark rainy day with my sorry cell phone with low mega pixels. We could not get it to flash. So I had to really enhance and put some color in it. That night I went and bought a Canon Rebel Ti5.....that will never be an issure again when a trophy hits the deck. The biologist told you the truth..The souther parts of Florida are do not give up big bass like central Florida. Lake O has plenty of big fish.....but it 750 square miles. Here is the origional....I was so dissapointed with the shot. Quote
shimmy Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Dead River, great bass, goodness man. So impressive. Where abouts are you fishing in Georgia? Quote
