Ifish4keeps Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 whats the biggest northeastern bass you've ever caught? mines a 6 pounder Quote
BassDawg Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Mine was 8 1/2 on the button,4" electric blue worm. No skill involved it was pure luck ;D I took my 6 yr old son out for some sunfish and made a few casts with the worm. Right place right time Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 9.2 RI Same as BDawg, no skill. Was putting a topwater on a set up when the rod slid across the deck,lol. Christmas cider power worm when they first came out was sitting on the bottom for a few minutes while I addressed the other rod. I'd rather be lucky than good sometimes Quote
brgbassmaster Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 7.2 largemouth on a strike king wild thang flipping heavy lily pads, and a 6.1 smallmouth in a river my aunt lives on, on a crayfish colored crankbait Quote
nboucher Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 6 lb, 11 oz on March 31 last year--my first day out that year! Talk about peaking too early. . . Caught her on a 3/8 oz black/blue Mann's Stone jig with a matching Zoom super chunk trailer. I was so surprised, I forgot to take a photo. . . Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 7.2 Bucket mouth Pumpkin spider grub 4-2007 S. Kingstown RI 5.4 Bronzeback Black Deps Buzz jet 6-2007 Harwich MA It was good year! Quote
Super User Tin Posted January 29, 2008 Super User Posted January 29, 2008 This year I pulled a 6 lbs. 14 ounce largie from Johnsons pond on a watermelon/copper jig. I got my PB smallie this past year at Pachaug in CT this year. Definatley over 4 pounds, the formula said it was about 4.76. She hit a green pumpkin jig in 6 inches of water. The worst part was the 6 pound smallie my buddy lost on the next dock. Quote

Perfect Hook Set Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Connecticut 12 lbs 14 oz Mashapaug Pond 1961 Low Budget you were about a pound off of the RI LMB state record.... Quote
Triton20XSD Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 6 lbs 13 oz. back in 1990. I was fishing for Calico with my neighbor during March (yes the ice was off early) and there was nothing doing with the Calico so I switched to a small jig & pig. I had 6 lb test and a light action rod. I also caught a 6 lb 11 oz on my first outing this year on a lipless crankbait, only fish caught that day and the bar was set high for the year. Quote

South county haaa, caught my biggest from your neck of the woods also broke the RI record for Pickerel but never realized it until I got home and checked 7.8 lbs as well as almost braking the RI Smallie record on the same day.

Perfect Hook Set Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I doubt here in Connecticut the LMB will be broken any time soon... I hate not always having a scale or a type of measuring tool, thats usually when I would catch my biggest fish lol... 2 years ago I was fishing a small weed filled lake on my friends birthday. After fishing for about 20minutes I changed my senko to a light pink/transparent senko and casted it a distance to a random hole in the weeds. BAM a huge hit I set the hook and the fish runs for no more then 10 seconds before it comes off, MY FRIEND LAUGHS AT ME I cast out again into another hole near the last one I casted in, this time I had more of a slow pull I set the hook and fight in a 6lb 14oz LMB There isn't a full week of fishing that goes by where I don't catch a 5lb or larger... Before I tell you this next story I would like to add I am allergic to bees My wife didn't take good pictures (maybe because she was more concerned of my health) Last year close to the end of June Fishing a local reservoir Alone on foot, I start working the shore I work my way around the bend catching one 1lb largemouth on a small yellow/white skirt spinnerbait Casting though piles of under water weeds I get a smashing hit but, bring in a bunch of weeds. I pick up my other rod in which I change my green pumpkin senko to a smoke shad color senko. I cast back into the exact same spot I had the hit and again a huge hit I set the hook and the fish is on and running I work my way to an embankment (which is is covered with rocks) fighting the largemouth I finally get the fish closer to shore when I feel a bunch of sharp pin like stings over my left eye, my left arm and my left like NOW RUNNING still trying to get the fish to shore I called my wife with one hand Set the phone down and while grabbing the huge lmb I tell her I got stung by a sh** load of bees "I am on the way" she says "WAIT WAIT make sure you bring the cam" I said I hang up and run up the hill with a fishing pole and phone in one hand and the bass in the other... I walk toward the entrance and hold the bass in the water My wife gets there very quickly 5 minutes or less Takes a few pics, the bass is released and I go to the hospital The LM weighed 7lb 5oz I sat at the hospital twice that day/night and had a swollen face for about a week which including walking around the shore of a lake on the 4th of July. Looking odd to all of the spectators waiting to watch the fire works Quote
Yakfish Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Wow, those are some great catches for a bunch of northerners. My best LM went 4lb 9oz and my best smallie was about 2.5lb on a cheapo spring scale. Hoping to lay into some of the more respectable fishies that obviously DO populate our waters. Quote
jaymc Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 In fifty years of fishing, mostly in upstate NY I've taken one 7 and one 7.2. The funny thing is they came on consecutive days. The 7.0 was on a crankbait I bought for 99cents out of a bargain bin, at a bait store, two days before. That fish came from the Oneida River in the old canal lock at Caughdenoy. The next day I got the 7.2 on a Moss Boss at Sandy Pond. Quote
Mrs. Matstone Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 My biggest largemouth so far was this one. It was 25.5 inches and the girth was approx. 18 or so. Bassectomy - That is a nice pickeral. Congrats. Quote

Perfect Hook Set Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 That would be a record any where in the NE are you sure that wasn't caught in the North Easter part of Mexico? lol Edit: Well since its almost 4am and my eyes are half open and my brain drained, I thought the post said 25.5lbs Not believing what I thought I read, I reread the post and realized I was wrong Quote
