WPCfishing Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Mine was a 3.4 Large mouth. He was sitting in a foot of water next to a broken and laid down boat dock. I pitched a jig and he nailed it immediately. My biggest loss was about a 5 pounder.. I was using a jig. Pitching into a laid down tree. I pulled up on him and his head came up out of the water when he spit the jig. I was ticked for sure. The jig came flying back at my head.. I missed that hook set. Anxious i guess. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 23, 2015 Global Moderator Posted May 23, 2015 So far it's this dude. I lost two that day that were both bigger though. No big deal, I'm going to catch a bigger one than that before the end of the year. 4 Quote
WolfyBrandon Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 My best Largemouth & Smallmouth so far (May 22, 2015) of 2015. LM: 6lb 10oz - 23'' (April 13, 2015) SM: 4lb 02oz - 19 & 1/2'' (May 21, 2015) As for the loss, I was fishing a buzzbait one evening and saw a huge surface strike near a dock, so I tossed the buzzbait around it with no results. I then changed to a Excalibur Spittin Image and after fishing with it for a few min a ~4-5lb Largemouth came up from the depths and nailed it... but sadly didn't get hooked up. WolfyBrandon 6 Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted May 23, 2015 Super User Posted May 23, 2015 On behalf of all the bank fisherman on BR, I let it go on record that I take offense at your title. Is that the only way you can catch or lose bass? The best bass I've banked this year was a 7 3/4 lb. largemouth. I was dragging a Yum Wollee Bullee with a 3/0 VMC hook and a 1/4 oz. sinker over some logs and she grabbed it. The best bass I've lost this year was the same one in the same pond. She smoked a Cyclone Classic buzzbait in pouring rain. I fought her for about a minute, she jumped and let me get a good look at her, and then suddenly she was gone. Quote
MIbassin Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 While fishing in the Everglades, I lost one on a jig after making a long cast onto a hump. Got her right up to the boat and the jig came out. She was 7-8lbs easy Quote

FloridaBasser1 Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 My PB so far. Caught at a local Jax pond in Fl. She weighed 8.0# SHE's A PIG. I didn't loose one, but i did see one at the same pond that was #13+ after the spawn. Her- i just couldn't get her attention. Thats about as close as i came to loosing one. 3 Quote

Super User everythingthatswims Posted May 23, 2015 Super User Posted May 23, 2015 Well I had a day at a certain body of water this spring when I saw 5 bass in the 6-8 plus pound range (it's hard to judge weight when they are shaped like a crappie!) and only two of them even showed mild interest in what I offered. After a year at that place I still haven't figured them (the big girls) out. I don't get it at all. It's very personal now! 1 Quote
NEjitterbugger Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Biggest bass this year was this 6.5 pounder caught on Okeechobee and the biggest fish I lost this year was on Okee and would have been a PB for sure she looked around 8pounds... My biggest NH bass this year is between 3 and 3.5lbs which will soon be shattered since my lacrosse season has finally wound down. 3 Quote
FloridaBasser1 Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 I'm telling you! That 8 pounder i caught was not even when i was targeting them. I was fishing with cutbait for catfish! ~ weird Well I had a day at a certain body of water this spring when I saw 5 bass in the 6-8 plus pound range (it's hard to judge weight when they are shaped like a crappie!) and only two of them even showed mild interest in what I offered.

Super User Dwight Hottle Posted May 23, 2015 Super User Posted May 23, 2015 This is my biggest bass caught this year. I lost a DD at the bank later that day on a swimbait. That one really hurt. I also lost a big smallie this month but never got to see her. She felt like a real toad. 9 Quote

fishinphilly Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 i started a post a couple days ago (bass fishing in nj) with my biggest this year probably around 4 1/2-5lbs she nailed a yum wolly bug in crawdad and really put up a fight trying to pull her through the pads and today, (i know its not a bass) but i missed a snakehead at least 20inches, i was slow rolling a strike king swim jig along the edges of grass and he inhaled it i had people running over to see what i was fighting because it was splashing everywhere but when i went to lift him up the bank he popped off and a little part of me died for that split second lol Quote
BassObsessed Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 It was caught from the bank but this is the biggest bass for me this year. DD caught on a 4'' swimbait in a neighborhood while on vacation on Fl. The biggest lost bass would have been my biggest to date. We were fishing Lake Toho the same week I caught the one in the neighborhood and it was early morning . I watched the bobber go down and set the hook and the battle was on. The boat was getting slightly turned by the bass. The fish made one last ditch effort to change directions and when it surfaced it was curled up and the football gut was showing in a big way. The guide said that's a 12+ lb fish and I don't doubt it he's been guiding Toho for 30 plus years and many DD come out of there . Unfortunately after changing direction and trying to make a dash for the grass nearby the big girl got off. That was within the first 5 minutes of fishing that day and it wore on me for quite a while. I have a picture of a giant bass the guide's client caught the next day in practically the same spot that went 13.5...could of been a different fish who knows. 6 Quote
atcoha Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Guess I can weigh in some fish tales.... about a month ago me and my boy went, I though I was hung up on a tree log. A few seconds later it was on, I was a nervous wreck, told my boy to get the net, fought her for a minute, she finally came up and jumped, don't know the weight but size wise, would have been my biggest bass, threw the hook on a jump and thrash you would mistake for a baby tarpon, and she was gone. I still relive that in slow motion all the time. Quote

WolfyBrandon Wolfy, did you catch those in your area? If so those have to be huge for there I would think. Great job. 1 Quote
Canyon explorer Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 My biggest bass or lost bass hasn't happened yet, but I know it may happen the week of June 11 for both. I fish LOZ on a regular basis. Without question my best week is always seven to ten day after Memorial Day when the big power boats (hundreds of them) push the big post spawn females into the deep brush piles. After a few days to let the fish relax and it is safe to fish at night again we'll drag Berkley 10" power worms looking for the fish of the year. At 81 it is however getting tougher. 1 Quote
