herbu Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 "Best" = "Best". You can say "best in this water", or "best in this state", or etc... but there is only one "Best, period". ("Best bass" is allowed.) Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted March 30, 2016 Super User Posted March 30, 2016 I count the biggest fish of any species as my PB for that species. Doesn't matter to me where it was caught. Logically bigger fish waters are going to produce bigger fish. I do appreciate that a 9lb bass from New England is more impressive than a 9lb bass from Texas or Florida. 2 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted March 30, 2016 Super User Posted March 30, 2016 I don even know what my personal best is . I have weighed very few bass . I have probably two hundred maybe three hundred six lb plus bass . I had my first confirmed seven lb fish mounted over thirty years ago . I have my personal best listed between 8 and 9 because I just think that a few of those fish has hit 8 lbs . Quote

There is probably no way I'd ever beat that in Northern Indiana, so I count the largest I've caught here from public waters. Do you do anything similar? Josh Indiana in general is tough to get big numbers on anyways. I just caught my personal best last night actually. 6lbs 3oz. and that was enormous to me. I told my wife that in Indiana it'll be hard to beat and likely take a long time. I think I read somewhere that bass in Indiana average about 1/2lb a year growth, so that fish was about 12yrs old.

Derekbass02 Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 The only thing I do is separate largemouth from smallmouth. 1 Quote
