Last month I caught a bass a little over 9lbs and she was 4 inches longer than the bass you showed. Would of easily been a double digit if she had some more thickness to her body. Quote

Mass state record of just under 16 I believe.Biggest I've caught was 7 and that was out of a small pond.I can't imagine pulling a 16.I was shaking like a leaf with the 7. Quote
IndianaFinesse Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Big bass can definitely grow huge in small ponds, especially if they're private. Indiana's state record of 14 pounds 14 ounces was caught in a small private pond that hadn't been fished in years previously. Quote
