I'm going to go ahead and be the one to say that bass on the bottom picture is definitely dead. The other one may be as well. I know what a dead bass looks like. Plus it looks like you just picked up each bass out of a cooler right there to take that picture in that same spot. Regardless, they are/were nice fish.

[Redlinerobert]

Nice fish!  Congratulations!  

So if you released them in the evening, what'd you keep them in during the day?  By the looks of the blue skies behind you, it doesnt look close to evening time....

hawg caller~ man it go's from 20-40 & then 40-70 degrees.

Things are both dead & alive around here...you go but 1 mile down the road & the trees & grass are dead.Then go a mile up the road and things are alive.

Been a weird fall & early winter around here.

Thanks for the comp's Paul...They sure nice to catch & start the new year off good.

LCpointerKILLA~Both bass were alive and well buddy.

I hade them both in a 120 quart cooler for about 20 minute's max.

I don't keep Hawg's...Just take pic's & weight them & away they go back into the water.

Some of bass in the creek are dark while other look pale white.

That is why the 1 looks dead..I agree after re look'n at the pic.

I don't think either fish looks dead. a little stressed, but not dead.

Nice fish, but it sure doesn't look like winter in that pic.

I noticed the tree right off when I first saw the post a few days back. I can't believe it took this long for someone else to notice. Then I noticed a few other fishy things and had to be skeptical and dig a little.  I am going to wait and see how long it takes the detectives to find the other fishy things.  HBA Weather warm or cold has very little to do with trees. Its mostly photo period and we are way past any chance of green leaves even if its 80 degrees. Nice fish though.

Randall, you talking about the hanging plants on the porch that are green and not frost resistant or you talking about the fish being caught after 3:30 pm and the sun in the pic is casting a shadow directly overhead meaning sometime around noon.

[Gatorbassman]

Or the incredibly dark color of the bass in 40 degree water?

Never even considered that.  Good call.

Went down to the creek Friday night after work and pulled this nice 1 out.

She went 10 lb 1 oz

25" long

(Insert photo from HBA's avatar here which can also be found in this post on bassresource http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1196437785/0#0 )

Then went back down to the creek Saturday morning & pulled this 1.

She went 9 lb 8 oz

& around 24" long---- Hawg Bass Assassin

Back to top

I cut and pasted this off another fishing site. Notice the date on the post. The fish in his avatar and his previous post with the fish lying on the real green grass from his previous posts (see link below)on Bassresource are the same fish. He posted both photos together on the other website and said he caught them on back to back days which are listed as days in June with two different weights. He posted the same fish on the other website but the stories don't match with what is posted here. Here on Bass Resource one was caught in fall http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1197747892/0#0 When was it caught? Maybe June? But who knows?Looks like a lie on both sites to me. I was on to him from many posts back when he posted the same fish twice and the others looked like the same fish twice.

[Jimzee]

Uh-oh!  Care to explain HBA?  :-?

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

We don't judge people by their catches but by their integrity.

(otherwise Muddy would have been run off a long time ago, he can't catch a cold!  ;D )

But we love him anyway, see what I mean?

(Muddy, I'm only playin' with ya,....I know you can catch a cold,lol ;D )

You noticed that too.

over here the bass have a very dark color even in 40 degree water. I thinks it all depends on on the body of water.

The story is definately fishy though.

[Cajun1977]

man you guys are ruthless ;D ;Dhe has probably tucked tail and ran to a new site now ;D

I've been monitoring this thread ever since FourBizz popped the question (were they released?)

On the one hand, it's nice to know that you belong to a group of gracious anglers who are free with their compliments.

On the other hand, it's just as nice to know that we're not a group of pushovers, but are observant individuals dialed into detail.

I think LBH said it all.

We're judged first by our integrity, THEN by the fish we catch.

Let's face it, we all live-and-breathe for that double-digit bass,

but no bass in the world is worth more than our integrity.

Nice work fellows, as always

I try my best to live by the motto "If you can't say someting nice, then don't say anything at all".

So thus far I have  :-X on this thread :

[Alpster]

It's a shame too... I would have been way proud of them bass, no matter when I caught em.

This thread has really taken a bad turn. It is time to come clean. Hawg Bass Assassin, are you really 34 years old?

JUST KIDDING, JUST KIDDING, JUST KIDDING!!!

;D ;D ;D ;D

[fourbizz]

Well, I am going to have to say that I agree with Randall. I try not to get into stuff like this because people always like to talk crap and doubt when you get a big fish. That really bums me out.

BUt after all the things posted, i saved some pictures to my computer and blew them up with adobe photoshop.

I am fairly certain that his "14lb2oz" fish and his "12lb9oz fish are the same one.

I blew the tails on those fish up to the exact same size and mirrored one of them so that they had the same orientation.

They had the same shape, proportioning and most importantly an identical sore on the bottom of the tail.

Now fish get these sores alot and for many different reasons. but the one on the bottom of the tail is almost always found during or right after the spawn, from fanning the bed. Add in that the extreme greenery behind both pictures and the T-shirt, says it was a spring or early summer fish. Also the big old splotch on the side in the "14lb" picture tells me she is dead.

And like Randall said, the fish in his avatar he posted in 2 different threads a couple weeks apart. One said that it was caught in the last 2 years and the other that it was caught a couple weeks before. They both have the exact same cross shaped marking in the lateral line.

I have known for along time that big fish can make people ugly, but I'm pretty sure that you , HBA, are taking us for a ride.

Not Cool.
