:clap: Bravo on the great catch. Still proves what I've always said. I live in the wrong state.

I hear ya! My wall hanger threshold is 6lbs. That's about as big as the green ones are going to get up here.

Not only is that a big fish, it's a really, really beautiful fish!  That is just perfect for a replica trophy.  You got yourself a perfect one there.  Congrats.

Dude that’s awsome, I’m happy for you. That is a really nice looking fish as well as big. I’m so jealous it’s not funny. Congrats.

Great fish and good call on the replica. Now you and others have a shot at getting her again when she's even bigger, which she almost certainly will get bigger being your location.

Exactly. After I released her I was looking at pics and noticed, she's actually thin for her size.  She probably is an 11 pounder during the spawn!

Yes girth makes a big difference in how much a bass weighs.Did you measure the girth of this bass? Most 26 inch bass weigh somewhere around 9 to 12 pounds, depending on how thick they are. We are in the pre spawn now so I will not be surprised if you break your pb again.

Unfortunately I didn't.  I was so excited, it's the one measurement I didn't take. But if you look at my hand at the bottom, it doesn't even go a third of the way around her lol

Girth should be at least 15-16 inches to weigh 8.5 pounds at 26 inches long. They start looking very thick when the girth passes 18 inches.
