*Hank Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Any pics of your biggest skinniest bass and what did you catch it on? Quote
WolfyBrandon Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 My "Biggest Skinniest" was caught on May 14, 2010, and the lure is in the first picture (Blue Fox). This was long before I started to kept track of my fishing information (unknown weight/length etc), but looking at the date my guess would be it was skinny because it probably just finished spawning.

Turtle135 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Caught this poor old girl in August of 2013 in a little creek off of the Tidal Potomac River. She coughed up a couple of crayfish when I landed her and I felt kinda bad about putting her through the stress of a catch and release. Her belly could not have been more emaciated and I always wondered later if that was her last summer. She hit a 10" ribbontail plastic worm and had no fight in her at all. Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted March 3, 2015 Super User Posted March 3, 2015 My brother and I fished 3 days in Myrtle Beach last spring and caught this 22" SKINNY bass once each day, one of those days the fish shook the hook after a short fight and was caught an hour later. She wasn't on a bed. I thought they didn't get big by being stupid, but this one did. Quote
*Hank Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Here's mine, caught on a zoom horny toad. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted March 3, 2015 Super User Posted March 3, 2015 This one had a Huge Head but the body really faded away quickly . . . I think she was trying to make the Red Eye Shad she choked her first Post Spawn meal . . . A-Jay 1 Quote

Super User Senko lover Posted March 4, 2015 Super User Posted March 4, 2015 I love it when the pros catch a bass and are like "this one has a 6-pounder head and a 3-pounder body" I bet a lot of tourneys could have been won with much heavier bags if those bass hadn't gone on a diet. Quote
Weld's Largemouth Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 It is a little hard to see, but you can see the stomach tightened up.. she measured 22.5" and weighed 3lb 4 oz. Poor fish :/ 1 Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted March 4, 2015 Super User Posted March 4, 2015 I have LOTS of photos of emaciated fish as they are pretty common in my water, some of which look even skinnier than this fish....but this is one of the longest. I was fishing a 5" grub and was at the end of the retrieve right next to the boat when I saw this mouth open up, grab the grub, and dive for deep water. HOOK-SET. Zrrrrr, zrrrrr, zrrrrr goes the drag on the spinning reel. I'm pretty pumped as I thought I had just hooked a 7 1/2 pounder that I had caught twice before in that lake. The MOUTH certainly looked familiar... Got the fish back to the boat, in the net, and in the boat. I can tell it's a long fish but sorta felt a bit disappointed when I got it on the bump board. 24 inches (the same length as the 7 1/2 pounder I had caught)...but only 4.58 pounds. Normally, I'm jazzed any time I catch a 4-pounder...but this poor thing was just a mess - the photo tells the tale... 5 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted March 4, 2015 Super User Posted March 4, 2015 Heres maybe the longest bass I ever caught , but skinny . Taken about 1980 ,on a jig and Uncie Josh waterdawg pork bait. 1 Quote
paul. Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 i once caught a paper thin bass on a white spinnerbait with a mouth i could stick both my fists in several years ago. when i first glimpsed this fish in the water before i got a good look at her, i almost lost it. i was just sure i was about to top the state record. but i realized pretty quickly something was wrong. she gave up too easily, came in too quickly. when i got a good look at her, i couldn't believe the fish was even still alive or had the strength to bite at all. literally that fish could not have looked any worse. 9 lbs. 15 oz. only lacked a hair being 29" long. i have a regular pic around here somewhere, but nothing i can download. probably about as disappointed as i have ever been to catch a huge bass, if that even makes any sense. 2 Quote
DaveT63 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 25+ inch that weighed just under 6 pounds. Caught it on a 4" Powerbait worm fished wacky. 2 Quote
NEjitterbugger Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Caught on Okeechobee last year, one of the skinnier 20"+ bass I've caught... 4 Quote
WolfyBrandon Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 i have a regular pic around here somewhere, but nothing i can download. Take a picture of the picture with a digital camera, problem solved. WolfyBrandon Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 4, 2015 Global Moderator Posted March 4, 2015 My PB, she could have been 13-15 pounds if she wasn't so freaking skinny! 3 Quote
fishinphilly Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 i caught one before on a booyah pad crasher that measured 22inches and weighed 3 1/2 pounds it didn't look that healthy and its bottom jaw was split into 2 but at least she was trying to eat! Quote
mullins Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Couldn't tell you the weight, but it was the longest bass last year. Quote
*Hank Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 My PB, she could have been 13-15 pounds if she wasn't so freaking skinny! Man! That thing is one sorry looking fish! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 12, 2015 Global Moderator Posted March 12, 2015 Man! That thing is one sorry looking fish! Yep, didn't fight very well either, probably 10 seconds from hookset to the net. I doubt that fish lived much longer. Quote
Trenton Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Not mine but this fish was just a hair under 26" last summer and my buddy I fish all my tournaments with called me and told me to bring the scale down to our famous sportmans club lake. If I remember right it was like 5lbs 6oz or something like that. I mean she was healthy but soooo far from full potential Quote
