Super User SirSnookalot Posted August 31, 2014 Super User Posted August 31, 2014 My biggest bass has come sometime within the last 10 years, that's how long I've been living in Florida. Don't carry a scale so I don't know exactly, but I'd say it was pretty darn good. All my bass are released. Quote

ThatZX14Fella Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Be prepared to laugh. Somewhere around May or June. The scale said 2lbs, but it was a $5 scale so I'm not sure if it was correct. Released. Quote

Global Moderator Mike L Posted August 31, 2014 Global Moderator Posted August 31, 2014 Autumn about 8-9 years ago at an old sand mine east of Gainesville Fla that my company turned into a hunting lodge when the veins ran out in the 70's. I don't hunt so when my customers left I grabbed an old Berkeley fishing pole that was in a shed, put a june bug brush hog on, made one cast and caught a 9.75. There was no live well in the boat's they had so I put her on a stringer and tied the other end to the oar support to show them when they got back. After about 10 min I started feeling bad and let her go. Many, many 5-8 Lb fish were caught in that pit over the years, but none bigger than my "Bertha" Not being able to go back there is one of the worst things about retiring Mike Quote

Super User Dwight Hottle Posted August 31, 2014 Super User Posted August 31, 2014 19.3 lbs, jig, 20 years ago, 28.5" L , released. Tom Tom did you get a girth measurement? I find it interesting to look at length & girth measurements and their relationship to the actual scale weight. 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted August 31, 2014 Super User Posted August 31, 2014 Tom did you get a girth measurement? I find it interesting to look at length & girth measurements and their relationship to the actual scale weight.The girth was very close to 28" using a length of line to measure with. I always trying to keep these big bass in the water as much as possible to reduce stress. My method to measure is using a wet Terry towel laid on the deck use my fishing line cut to lengths that match fish length and girth. My aluminum boat had a yard stick tacked down for quick length measurements, my bass boat doesn't.PM your email and I can send a photo of that bass, if interested. Tom 1 Quote

starcraft1 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 8 lbs. even on my 55th birthday - 5 yrs. ago and change. 8lb. test - 1 power lami rod / Okuma metaloid spinning reel, 3/16ths "homemade" finesse jig, 3/o lt. wire hook. One HELL of a fight! Transported it to our local kids only pond. Anything under 10 lbs. here can-not be transplanted into another water, but knowing most of the law enforcement in our county and calling them frist made it O.K. to do so. Note; Our company sponsors & runs the annual fishing derby in our town. 1 Quote
Skeeter Dan Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I just wonder how you remember all that info. That would make you my age and I can't remember what I did yesterday. 1 Quote
