Yes sir! The glory/satisfaction/reward for me is in the big ones, not the numbers! The DD fish are in a category of their own imo, they seem to be so much bigger once they reach that DD mark, almost like a totally different animal/fish! Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted December 5, 2020 Super User Posted December 5, 2020 Most of the guys aren't from Tennessee. You can't expect them to catch a DD every week. Quote

22RangerZ520R Posted December 6, 2020 Author Posted December 6, 2020 I know just because you live in CA, TX or FL you don't catch DD's every week. I was saying that DD's are more frequent/plentiful in those states and more common... Quote

Msl819 Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 Great fish but even better right at the boat. Even a small bass right at the boat can cause the heart to skip let alone a DD bass. 1 Quote

Super User soflabasser Posted December 10, 2020 Super User Posted December 10, 2020 Congratulations she is a beauty! From what I researched Tennessee is one of the best places in the country to catch a double digit bass after California, Texas, Georgia, and Florida. 1 Quote

Sounds accurate, although LA MS and AL have a bunch of them too Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 11, 2020 Super User Posted December 11, 2020 Not common, but possible. The biggest weighed fish caught in one of my local public ponds was a whopping 11.98. Quote

For some reason Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama are not mentioned as much as the big 4 (Florida, Georgia, Texas, and California). Lake Chickamauga is loaded with 8 pound or better fish. Have fished in Tennessee it is nice but I prefer Florida, Georgia, and Alabama for bass fishing and for multi species fishing. 1 Quote

World Record 11lbs 15 oz. at Dale Hollow. We catch double digit largemouth here occasionally. Our state record is 15.2 lbs caught fairly recently. https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/2015/02/14/teacher-catches-record-largemouth/23433607/ 1 Quote
Big Hands Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 Nice 'lunkah'! ====================== I had a Lake Fork PIG take a swipe at a buzz bait right as I was going to lift it out of the water. Maybe the biggest mouth I've ever seen on a bass. I audibly gasped and reflexively yanked hard enough that the bait shot over the rail and embedded the hook in the side of a partner's shoe. We were fishing with 20 lb mono and drags locked down hard because of the timber we were fishing (picture dragging buzzbaits through two to four pockets over floating timber on each cast) I can't imagine the battle that would have ensued with that fish on the end of such of a short leash, but it would have been fun to find out. 1 Quote

Or at least get a 13lb+. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 16, 2020 Super User Posted December 16, 2020 The biggest fish that I know of at Pickwick was caught a few years ago on a Friday pre-fishing for a club tournament. The bass weighed 11.98 and was caught on an A-rig, of course. But there is more to the story... On Saturday, tournament day, the older gentleman was telling his story to his partner when all of a sudden...WAM! Exactly the same spot with the same rig and soft plastic. Crazy. Although several lakes around the state have produced double digits, Chick is probably the only one capable of breaking it's own record. You guys stocked Florida strain bass several years ago and it worked! 1 Quote
