How many here have caught a 10lb+ bass and in what state?

[Tweek1106]

Was watching a video regarding the odds of a bass making it to double digit weights and was shocked to hear just how few make it. 

 

I think it was 1 bass out of multiple millions of eggs...

 

Just wanted to know how many of you have caught a 10lb+ bass and in which state?

[22RangerZ520R]

12lb 8oz / Tennessee

 

[Catt]

Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, & Florida ?

Most fish and other organisms rely on the "start with insanely large numbers of embryos/larvae" as a strategy to ensure enough survival to perpetuate the species. This is not necessarily an indication of how many individuals of the largest specimens to be expected are around. It does make these older ones by virtue of the strategy less abundant, but in many cases, they reach threshold sizes or gates, where mortality decreases drastically in steps rather than linearly. Yes on the DD club.

Still looking! One of my friends just caught a 9.6 a couple months ago, though. So close to that DD mark!

[Choporoz]

Quite a few back in the days before I owned a scale.

[Dwight Hottle]

Florida & Mexico.

[MichaelCopeland]

Haven't caught one that size yet. Not able to fish as often as I'd like to at the moment. I'll get me one eventually though, just need to get out there more than I can right now. I have been reading up on the strategy for catching them and watching videos too. Just waiting for the chances to try it out. I do know that they are not the easiest ones to catch. Lots of time and patience go into having success catching trophy size bass.

[Todd2]

Can I add my top 2 together? Otherwise, nope.

[DINK WHISPERER]

Bunch of 10s and a couple 11s for me all out of Florida. Came close in GA with a 9 1/2. 

[A-Jay]

Been very fortune to catch a handful of green bass over 10 lbs. 

All were in Mexico.

As for the state - I was in a state of Hysteria ~ Every Time.

(still looking for a brown one . . . . )

[crypt]

[BassObsessed]

5 dds Tx

I have caught several bass over 10 pounds in my home state of Florida, all weighed on a scale, all from land in public waters, all caught by myself with no guide putting me on fish. I feel its much more rewarding to catch your own trophy bass , but thats just me.

[Ben Miller]

(2) 10's in SC.  Both were in ponds, but both ponds were at least 50 miles apart.

[ohboyitsrobby]

I've caught a 10-3 in a pond here in arkansas but nothing over 8 in a lake or river. 

[5-20]

Several DDs, all in Texas. 

[davecon]

Quite a few, but then again, I was born and raised in Florida. 

 

Used to catch at least 3 every winter but lately (the last 30 years) have been afflicted with Snook and fish only the spawn for bass. Usually still manage 2 or 3 per year. Plan on going next month on the full and new moons. Been doing this a long time so have a pretty good idea as to when/where/how. I fish public waters and release them all. Largest released was 13.5. Did have a 14 + mounted back when I was a kid.

 

Nothing you couldn't do if you lived where I do. I'm just blessed to live in central Florida.

[Bluebasser86]

1, in Mexico. 

[WRB]

California and Arizona. 10 lb northern strain LMB north of the Mason-Dixon Line are extremely rare fish.

I've caught too many DD's to remember. They were all caught here in Michigan will I was fast asleep in my warm cozy bed while outdoor temps were below freezing and a bunch of the white stuff blanketed the ground. ?

[gim]

I sense a pattern here.  Its pretty much all states in the deep south...

[Ktho]

I have one DD to my name here in California
