MattinOK Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 After a short hiatus for bluegrassing, I am back to cause more trouble on our wonderful forum! I had a awesome trip the last two days. Around 6:00 P.M. I arrived at my favorite pond. It was lightly overcast, temps of around 80. Caught two on a Rapala Original Floated in gold, and eight on a buzzbait. These mark my first buzzbait fish. Quite an exciting way to catch bass, and addicting too. I caught 10 in a little over two hours, although none of them exceeded 1lb. The next morning is when the fun really began. I got to the pond and 6 A.M. and started again with the Buzz bait. I caught 2-3 more dinks, then noticed a big hub-bub a little way from me. I cast my buzzbait into the middle of a stump forest, and thought I had gotten snagged while before I could get my buzz bait on top of the water. Then this fish started pulling drag. It was the biggest bass I've caught to date, unfortunately my scale died, so I don't know the weight. I thought someone here might could help me with that. I'm holding the fish at arms length, with the camera held up to my face. I am guessing it was 3-4lbs. I also caught my first T-Rig fish Quote
D4u2s0t Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 looks like about 1.5 lbs or so, can't tell from a picture though. But doesn't look anywhere near 3-4 lbs. Again without knowing at least the measurements, impossible to tell. Pick up a scale, takes out the guess work. Either way nice fish! Quote

Again without knowing at least the measurements, impossible to tell. Pick up a scale, takes out the guess work. Either way nice fish! I had my scale with me, but the stupid batteries were dead. ;D I did get the measurements though. it was a tad of 20 inches. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted June 8, 2010 Super User Posted June 8, 2010 There is nothing in the picture to draw reference from. most people that think they have a 3-4 lb. fish have something closer to 2. Good job getting out there, and getting bit. Now get some batteries! Quote
Red Bear Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 i catch all of my buzzbait fish running it underwater like a spinnerbait, ive oddly never had a strike running it on top of the water though and i would venture to say that a fish 20 inches long is over the 1.5-2lbs yall are giving that fish Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted June 8, 2010 Super User Posted June 8, 2010 almost 20 " , it should weigh between 3 & 4 lbs. Quote

We went bluefishing over the weekend, caught the biggest fish of my life, and the pictures didn't save in the camera. F*(*@#R@R!!! lol Length and girth measurements will give a good estimate if the scale dies... because that's always when you get the good one! Quote
ChiCityBasser Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Nice Fish and fish calculater on here says for a 20" Bass it should be 4lbs or so Quote
