SimonSays Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I went out early this morning to go fishing on my inflatable kayak, hit the water at 7am. It was slightly chilly outside, and the water temp was about 65, I started off tossing a Calvitron Buzzbait in black/red for about 30mins, then switched to the white/orange/chartreuse for a little but with no luck. I then switched to a jig with a Yamamoto double tail grub and started jigging the lilly pads with limited success, a dink less than a pound. I then switched to a small white spinner and started casting towards the bank while paddling back to the boat landing area. I tossed the spinner into a heavy laydown and BAM this baby hits my spinner hard and starts wrapping herself around the branches of the laydown and dragging me and my little inflatable around. If I hadn't had some 25lb powerpro she would have snapped me off on the laydown, luckily the power pro actually cut through some of the small branches while I eased my way around the thicker parts. When I landed her I smacked my self for not bringing my scale but she's definitely my new PB. Anyone wanna take a guess at her size based on my pic? She only about an inch away from me so no perspective tricks. Thanks for reading! Quote
Super User T-rig Posted October 15, 2007 Super User Posted October 15, 2007 Very nice fish! I'd guess 6lbs.+ 8-) Quote
Super User 5bass Posted October 15, 2007 Super User Posted October 15, 2007 I'd say a little over 6, possibly 6 1/2. Nice fish by the way! Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 15, 2007 Super User Posted October 15, 2007 Man, nice bass! ;D I'll go with the concensus, 6 something... 8-) Quote
ZombyGuru Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Marvelous fish!! Gotta love the PPro. Quote
Jake. Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Nice! ;D I will agree with everyone else, a little over 6 lbs. Quote
A.Do? Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 maybe i should come down there to fish.... Quote
Super User Tin Posted October 16, 2007 Super User Posted October 16, 2007 Nice job, cant beat that mean green power pro. Stuff has got in many fish that I usually wouldnt have got in the boat. Quote
Super User David P Posted October 16, 2007 Super User Posted October 16, 2007 Not fat, but definitely got length to her. I'd say 6 1/2lbs. Quote
Lightninrod Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Fine BASS SS!!! Way to stick with them and figure them out! 8-) Dan Quote
Triton9 Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 congrats on your new PB, well donee beautiful fish. and i would say its at least 6, 6and a half maybe Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted October 16, 2007 Super User Posted October 16, 2007 I think I'll hop on the wagon and go with 6.5 lbs. too. She is loooong. Quote
rondef Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Nice Bass dude. I would guess close to 7lbs. Quote
Mattlures Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 wow this might be the first time in history I am the high guesser. I say 7 Quote
Bryant. Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Awesome fish. Its definitley 6lbs maybe more. Quote
SimonSays Posted October 16, 2007 Author Posted October 16, 2007 Ahhh, I definitely need to bring that scale with me next time, with the wide range of weights >< gotta remember! Quote
Mattlures Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Oh man I though you knew the weight and we were guessing to see who would be closer. *In that case since you didnt bring a scale you have to be conservative or you will be lying to yourself Now I say it weighs 5.5lbs Quote

Super User David P Posted October 16, 2007 Super User Posted October 16, 2007 I say assume the fish is 6lbs. What is your previous Personal best? This same thing happened to me TWICE with two fish in the 5 - 6 1/2 lb range. Lucky me, I fished a tournament and pulled a 7lb 2oz to set things straight. Right after that, I got a scale and wont' leave home without it. Quote
SimonSays Posted October 16, 2007 Author Posted October 16, 2007 My previous is the fish in my avatar, which....I didn't have a scale for either =( I posted about that one last year too, which was estimated to be about 4lbs Quote
