they keep gettin bigger!-PB

[Red]

went out again tonight...only caught 7 bass all dinks cept for this one...now....i mentioned in another post that my scale was way off...but i was reading the Kg not the lbs....so i put a 2lb dumbell on it and it was pretty close...about a 1/2lb heavy...this fish measured 20 inches and the scale told me it was right on 7lbs...it was a nice fat fish....so i am kinda stumped as to what i should call it at....what would you say?....but it was for sure bigger than the one i caught last night and is my PB...she took a watermelon tiki stick.  great fun!

i also caught this hawg!

thanks for looking!

ok so i have been wondering about this fish since i caught it.....i just knew it wasnt 7 lbs....not after seeing the fish pictures posted on here...it just wasnt that big...so i got out my scale and checked it out....i rechecked it with the dumbells again and it showed me right on this time...that fish above is 3.5 lbs..lol..man was i off!  i dont wear my glasses when i go fishing, i really only need them for reading...so i asked the guy i was with to count the little marks and tell me how much it weighed...he counted 7 little marks....so i was like wow!...measured it and let it go...well each mark is a half a pound....so i am going to call my PB a 3.5 pounder...and on payday i think i will buy a digital scale cuz this thing is a pile of crap...anyway i just wanted to clear that up....cuz it dosent even look like 7lbs to me....but 7lbs or 2lbs...it was a blast to catch it!  and i have to say i owe it all to this forums and the great members on it...cuz just a short time ago i had no idea what a t-rig, or c-rig or any of that stuff was

thanks

LOL...thats funny man. At first Im lookin at that pic and thinkin " that fish is no more than 5 lbs ". I have that same kind of scale too...they dont suck, I think you and I just suck at readin em. I make that same mistake all the time...either way...NICE FISH!!

Great fish man, No matter if it's 3.5Lbs or 7lbs, it's your current PB and that's what counts.. I told you, they were only going to keep getting bigger. And sure enough, they have.. You'll be at 7Lbs soon enough!

Thats pretty funny.  I thought you were crazy for a second.  3.5 seems about right, but I don't think it is going to matter.  You seem pretty hooked on fishing right know.  I'm betting it doesn't stand long.  Were these caught on Senko's.  Seems like you've definitly have a handle on them now.  Oh yeah, congratulations on the PB.

that one was caught on a watermelon tiki stick...3/0 gammy EWG weightless...that bass picked it up off the bottom, it was just sitting there

This Saturday I caught a 20" LM Bass on the exact same lure (watermelon Tiki stick) and I weighed it on my scale (that I calibrate often) and it read 3 lb. 5 oz.  So I would say 3.5 lbs would be a good estimate.

yeah last night i caught another 3.5 lber, but forgot to get a pic....now that i know how to read my scale properly, this one went 19 inches and weighed the same...a tad shorter and a bit fatter...the funny part was my buddy had a nice one on and it got off....a few minutes later i was in the spot where he had that one on...i said "is this where you had that nice one on?" he said  "yeah" i said "dont worry, i'll get'em for ya"...and i caught it on that cast and on the same lure but a slightly differnt color...was on a watermelon tiki stick again, he was using green pumpkin...and again the fish picked it up off the bottom while it was just sitting there
