I just got my January PB mount in the mail and on my wall in early December and she was a 9.3. This bass was noticeably thicker and fatter... so YES i will have to get a mount. Just sad the scales wouldn't stay on long enough to read her because she's a 10.0 minimum. Still have tons to be PUMPED about though, catch of a lifetime! 3 Quote

Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted December 29, 2018 Global Moderator Posted December 29, 2018 Congrats! Looks like that bass ate a whole bunch of other fish before it hit your plug. You must have had it right in his wheelhouse 1 Quote

Shadow Raps and Shadow Rap Shad in perch have been the deal lately in my area. I went nuts buying all sorts of perch pattern baits as a result. We had an insane day last Saturday with them. The walleye eat the pattern too, so when the bass bite is off there's always a chance for a mondo eye. Congrats on your catch! Not easy for us northerners. That's a rare fish up this way. I caught two donks myself this year. No scale either time, but I have pics, measurements, and witnesses. More importantly I have the heart pounding memory. Electrifying! 1 Quote

Super User J._Bricker Posted January 20, 2019 Super User Posted January 20, 2019 Congratulations @TravisVirginiaAngler on your new Personal Best, beautiful fish! Thanks for sharing the photos and clearing up the her big, beautiful belly issues. I had to take a couple of looks at those photos cause I thought she swallowed a section of 2X4, lol. Continued good fishing, JB 1 Quote
