Super User gardnerjigman Posted May 18, 2015 Super User Posted May 18, 2015 Hmmm.... I'm intersted to see the conversation around this one. 5
Super User Catch and Grease Posted May 18, 2015 Super User Posted May 18, 2015 Hmmm.... I'm intersted to see the conversation around this one. Same here....
Super User BassinLou Posted May 18, 2015 Super User Posted May 18, 2015 If he got that fish officially verified and weighed, he broke the state record for Fl. Beautiful fish.
Super User MCS Posted May 18, 2015 Super User Posted May 18, 2015 Huh? I am confused. I thought you just pm'd me that it was caught in a cast net at one of my spot I never fished?
Thornback Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 If the bass is #18 then there should be more local news on it. Where was it caught? Did he have the weight certified? Did he call FWC? Just this year I have received $350 from FWC in gift cards for the three bass I caught that weighed over eight pounds.
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted May 18, 2015 Super User Posted May 18, 2015 That's a good fish, no doubt. I'm gonna get some popcorn though..... 3
Super User flyfisher Posted May 18, 2015 Super User Posted May 18, 2015 Hmmm....I think Speedbead has it right in his signature line.... 1
1234567 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 lol, everyone's thinking it so I'll say it.....Fish does not look close to 18 pounds.......Shimmy where are you man! 1
Nice_Bass Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 interesting....looks like a legit bass to me. Looking at photos of 17-18# class fish it would appear that would be up there?
BassFisherBoy Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Got more pics commin' In a little bit Still got to upload off my phone.
einscodek Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 If thats the picture and its legit, unless hes a midget, by the relative size of his hands, that fish is at least 26"+ If 29" given its a fat fish, I dont put it past that it could be in the neighborhood of 18 So question is did he let this go without getting an official weighing? Score another big fish on a 5" worm..
MARsSPEED Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 That is an epic fish even if not 18lbs. I feel it does look 29" though. 1
Uncle Leo Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Nice bass no doubt but the photo clarity seems off.
Matthew2000 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 That dude has his arms at 180* angles. I'm thinking 13ish. I'm also thinking that this was caught with something other than a rod and reel.
Super User Catch and Grease Posted May 19, 2015 Super User Posted May 19, 2015 I swear I saw this picture a long time ago. 3
