Vinny Chase Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Thanks to TIN...I am now doubting my the reading on my scale....It came up as a 6.9 lb fish, but i guess there is a chance my Rapala digital scale is off....Let me know what you think she weighs. Thanks Quote
bassman31783 Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Congrats bud. Always great to push that PB up a little more. Great looking bass. Quote

Super User Dwight Hottle Posted August 27, 2010 Super User Posted August 27, 2010 Your on a roll Vinny. Quote
piscicidal Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Wow...nice work, Vinny. 7lb bass is very impressive for Minnesota (I grew up in St Cloud area.) Quote
Vinny Chase Posted August 27, 2010 Author Posted August 27, 2010 Thanks guys! I have been very blessed this summer with great fishing and honestly most of comes from you guys. My fishing skills since i have joined BR have improved 1000%. I just picked up this toad about 30 minutes ago....I HATE knowing i have to go back to college tomm....At least i had a good last day till i come home again. Quote
shimmy Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Great fish! If people only knew how hard it is to catch a 7 out of MN. That is gorgeous and my hats off to you sir. Quote
SDoolittle Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 She weighed a tad under 7 lbs, but for the sake of saying i caught a 7 lber i added a few ounces Continue to add an ounce or two each time you tell the story, and by this time next year, she'll be a nine pounder! Not only is this an accepted practice, but it's actually necessary. Over the years, so many people have added weight to their catch that it has become expected. If you told the truth and said "I caught a 6.75 lb bass", most fishermen would naturally assume that the fish really weighed 6 lbs even. One word of advice though, when adding weight to your catch, never take pictures! P.S. I'm just messin' with you, Bro. Nice catch! Quote
Super User Tin Posted August 28, 2010 Super User Posted August 28, 2010 Nice fish but sorry man that is not close to 7 pounds, more like 5 or so and the fish in your second pic looks around 4.5 or so. Still a great catch. Quote
Vinny Chase Posted August 28, 2010 Author Posted August 28, 2010 Nice fish but sorry man that is not close to 7 pounds, more like 5 or so and the fish in your second pic looks around 4.5 or so. Still a great catch. theres is a chance my scale is off, but i like to think its accurate....if not whatever Quote
Super User Tin Posted August 28, 2010 Super User Posted August 28, 2010 The one in your avatar looks bigger. Quote
Vinny Chase Posted August 28, 2010 Author Posted August 28, 2010 The one in your avatar looks bigger. BC i am closer to the camera.......Why do you care so much?Go do something useful besides calling out people... Quote

Still a great catch. Ive used this scale for a few years now...All my fish must have been inaccurate....O well its only a number i guess Quote
Super User Tin Posted August 28, 2010 Super User Posted August 28, 2010 It has nothing to do with calling you out. I would rather have someone tell me I was wrong than going around showing people a picture of a 4.5 that I said was 7 and looking like a dumb__ . It's a learning process man. It's a nice fish regardless and to come on a deep crank is something I wish I could do. Just trying to help... Quote
shimmy Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 i was thinking the same thing Tin. However, like i said earlier, Vinny constantly pulls good looking bass in MN and he is fishing from a pontoon boat! I agree with Tin that the scale is off but i have never seen any of your fish that looked under 4 and i think you do a great job. Keep rippin lips. Quote

Yea i look like a dummy for buying a $40 scale and trusting what it tells me...Tin your avatar pic really fits your personality Quote

I'm out of here. Quote
pudmunk Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Nice fish regardless, however I have to agree with whoever said one looks like a 4lber and one a 5lber. Time for a new scale for xmas Awesome pull though Quote
ICU812 Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Nice fish man!! Looks like you were having a great time out there! Quote
endless Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Nice fish and I see your platoon's back? Man you stay on the water don't ya lol. Way to go Vinny. Quote
Red Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Nice fish man! The one in my avatar is my PB. Never even put on a scale as I didn't have one. I just tell everyone it was 9lbs. ;D But honestly, I haven't caught enough bigger fish to make a good estimate. I just thought 9lbs sounded good. Quote
