paul. Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 went for a while this afternoon and saw this big ol' donk of a bass cruising around looking for something to eat and luckily convinced her to have lunch on me. you can see she's pretty tattered, beat up, and soft bellied from the rigors of spawning, but with a frame like hers, she's probably always gonna be 10+. i definitely wasn't complaining. hopefully i will meet up with her again after she's put on the feedbag at the bluegill buffet. this fish has the potential to be 12+ in premium condition i think. hope y'all are catchin' some too.

Fish Chris Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Heck yea' ! That is a BIG OL' bass right there ! I could imagine that fish being well over 12 pre-spawn ! People often 'mistakenly' assume that if a fish holds 1 lb of eggs, it will lose 1 lb from spawning. But in reality, spawning takes SOOO much energy output, at precisely the time when bass are eating the least.... or not at all ! It's more accurate to assume that if a fish loses 1lb in eggs, it will probably lose another 2 lbs in body mass. Anyway, good job buddy :-) Fish Quote
