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. Quote
BigAngus752 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 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. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted October 12, 2018 Super User Posted October 12, 2018 WTG! Nice bass! Quote
Derek1 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 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. 1 Quote

Super User islandbass Posted October 13, 2018 Super User Posted October 13, 2018 Wow. She puts the “P” in Hawg. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 14, 2018 Global Moderator Posted October 14, 2018 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. Quote

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! Quote

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. Quote

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 Quote
Super User soflabasser Posted October 17, 2018 Super User Posted October 17, 2018 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. Quote
