The Largemouth Herald Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Well kinda. My personal record for smallest largemouth bass caught on a #9 silver/black back Shadrap. I was working a dropoff (from 8' drops to 15') in a small lake in Sarasota, Fl and thought I hung some moss. The fish actually had one hook off the back treble in it's mouth. The lure was bigger than it! I edited the header of this message on 06/30/07. The title was Record Largemouth Caught in Florida, but out of respect to some requests I changed the title. Quote
mattm Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 You got me. I was pumped when I saw the subject line. That little fish has pretty colors though. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted June 29, 2007 Super User Posted June 29, 2007 I wonder what a small fish like that is doing in water 8'-15' deep? Pretty liitle guy! Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 LOL thats a monster...kind of brings up a bad memory of what I saw another fisherman at a local lake doing once. This guy caught a tiny bass about that size on a tiny spinnerbait. Then he proceded to toss the fish out of bait. This realy did annoy me. I could care less about people useing live bait but that annoyed me he was useing a bass for live bait. anyway that bass must have been hungry Quote
Guest avid Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 I kid around more than most. But i draw the line at record bass This is waaaaaay to serious to joke about. sorry to be such a drag. Quote

The Largemouth Herald Posted July 1, 2007 Author Posted July 1, 2007 No big lakes in Sarasota, mostly man made ones like the one here. The lake I caught this one on is pretty small, electric only. Caught some decent fish in it and has lots of timber (7 pounds biggest). Lake Myakka is in the state park, but water is too low right now. Used to fish a lot of club tournaments where we'd go east to Big O, Kissimmee, Walk in water, June, Placid, Arbuckle, Toho, Harris, etc. My favorite is Walk in Water and I still venture there every couple of months or so. Gas prices is effecting my ability to travel as much and I miss it. Maybe with my new job with a little more moola will allow me to make some more trips. My biggest is 10 1/2 out of Lake Kissimmee a few years ago and got it in a tournament out of Camp Mack. We got 2nd with 29 pounds, 1st had 33. I wish I got one like the one you have in your picture! Take care. Quote
s_self88 Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Man, i wouldnt have changed my subject title, i thought it was funny it got me going, if guys dont have a sense of humor they need to lighten up a little bit Quote
The Largemouth Herald Posted July 3, 2007 Author Posted July 3, 2007 Thanks S_Self88, I thought it would be funny, but outta respect I changed the title. Different strokes for different folks. Quote
George Welcome Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 I would not have changed the title because it could have been correct: however? Touring Pro Mark Richards of Texas latched onto this one while fishing with me at the Marsh. Of course it didn't have the excitement level of this one: Quote
Cajun1977 Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 dude thats a good pic if somebody dont like the title let em go elsewhere Quote
JayW Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Heck, you guys made me go and find these pics from a few years back! From the way he fought... I could have swore he was at least 9 inches! ;D Here's a Florida Smallmouth! Quote
