Super User Raul Posted January 28, 2017 Super User Posted January 28, 2017 Really weird, my PB didn't look as big as this one: 4 Quote
OCdockskipper Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 It was either this one, pooping out a Roboworm while chewing on another lure (weird & rude) Or this one, who had major delusions of grandeur 5 Quote
z7master167 Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Trd worm stretched out and caught his fin on the fight Black square on this one 2 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 28, 2017 Global Moderator Posted January 28, 2017 This one was more deformed than the picture showed, but obviously doing just fine otherwise. This one was shaped more like a sunfish than a bass. This one was a very healthy fish, but it had the black spots all over it. Usually it's just a spot or two, but this one was very spotted. 3 Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted January 28, 2017 Super User Posted January 28, 2017 Here's another hyperpigmented melanosis bass. Very cool looking fish, I think she was just shy of 5lbs, post spawn. 7 Quote

Super User slonezp Posted January 28, 2017 Super User Posted January 28, 2017 Talk about a football. 'bout 13" long and 20" around. Here's one where his head grew faster than his body 2 Quote
corn-on-the-rob Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Very long and thin spotted bass. Even had the goggle eye, just too thin: Very Black smallie. Not that unusual on Erie but even the stomach and fins were dark as night: Very yellow Drum. Was my biggest recorded one, a bit over 13lbs. Yes, I am wearing broken sunglasses and look like a dufus: 3 Quote

Sittin there reelin em in Posted January 28, 2017 Author Posted January 28, 2017 That's some pretty neat looking fish out there and a few weird ones. I don't have a picture of the one I caught but it looked like it had something wrong with its back. Quote
RoweBoatRVA Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Caught a gut hooked bass on a crankbait and was able to remove the hook. 4 Quote
Sittin there reelin em in Posted January 28, 2017 Author Posted January 28, 2017 That's great! Did it make it? 1 Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted January 28, 2017 Super User Posted January 28, 2017 Forgot about this one! She was 23" long, caught her in December two years ago. Blind in one eye and all sorts of beat up. Quote

Blind in one eye and all sorts of beat up. We catch pike up here in the spring that make your bass look completely healthy. During the pike post spawn they feed voraciously and it's not uncommon to catch 20 or 30 pike in a day that are all beat to spit from the spawn. 3 Quote

It's a beautifulfish I think she was sick and had been attacked by otters. There is a pretty big population of them on that small stretch of river and they often will just kill fish for no reason, or kill them and eat only the tail or a small bite of them. When there is ice on the banks there will be dozens of big shad, bluegills, crappie, and some bass laying on top of it from the otters. 2 Quote

Sittin there reelin em in Posted January 29, 2017 Author Posted January 29, 2017 I agree with what IndianaFinesse said and I can't stand otters. If they're gonna eat a bass at least eat all of the meat and don't waste it. Even though I hate seeing a bass die. Has anybody seen this one in the bass master magazine? I didn't catch this one though. 2 Quote
Kyhokie Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 This one was tonight. She couldn't have weighed more than a few oz, but she was all mouth. (Freshwater clam on a rattletrap) 1 Quote
Sittin there reelin em in Posted January 29, 2017 Author Posted January 29, 2017 What exactly is that? Is it a fish scale? Oh now I see that in the parentheses. Quote
Catch 22 Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I don`t remember taking a pic,but once caught an offset lmb.A top view revealed it to have a perfect 1" offset midbody. It was about 14". I see lots of fish with bite marks from otters, cormorants or maybe turtles. Of the three, cormorants annoy me the most. 1 Quote
