Shad_Master Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 In the last three years, I have caught 4 20"+ bass: 1) Was fishing from the bank at the pond at my housing development (you are not supposed to fish there unless your property is on the lake, but since it was not completely built up, I used to sneak down there and catch a few). Had been hitting some 10" to 14" bass on a regular basis and had caught a few nice blue gill when I felt a thump and new it was a good'en. Tried to reel him in and he kept taking drag (though my reel was broken ). When he jumped I almost had a heart attack. Managed to get him landed and had to estimate the length/girth: approximately 21.5"/16" -- 6.15# by the fish weight calculator on this website. 2) Fishing a tournament at a local lake. Had been having some luck from shore on a particular bank but one of our guys had camped out on this spot and stayed there for a couple of hours. Wasn't doing much good elsewhere and so decided to move in after he left. On the first cast, caugt a 20.5" . Didn't get the girth measurement, but he was a realy hog. 3) Earlier this year I was fishing at my test pond. Lots of people fishing there in the Spring with worms and buzz baits. The weeds were starting to get thick and decided maybe I could get some bites by crashing a crank bait into the weeds. First cast, felt the fish bite, but he didn't hook up. Threw down my crankbait rod and followed with a 6" Vibra Tail worm and he took it (no more than 10' of line out) and he nearly ripped my arm off. Measured him at 20.5" with a 16" girth (just under 6#) 4) About a week ago, I was fishing over my lunch hour at a lake near my work. I had been fishing the weeds, but the blue gill were pestering me so bad, I decided to just have a little fun and tied on a 4" GULP Nightcrawler and let the blue gill drag it around. On my second pitch, I felt a pretty good tug and thought it must be big BG. Pitched again and felt the hookup, reeled him in and was shocked to see a giant mouth. I had to estimate his length at somewhere between 20" and 21", an easy 5#er. Quote
Curado Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 7 even on a bleeding shad Hart spinnerbait, 22 in. didn't get the girth but was full of eggs real fat fish. Quote

Minuteman Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 7 lb 8 oz 23 1/2" caught 20 years ago while catfishing. I caught it while helping a friend land a big cat and I was trying to get my nightcrawler and line out of the way when she nailed it. I have been a bass fishermen ever since that day and I can't even remember the last time I used any live bait. I just dug the pix out and need to get them scanned to jpg. Quote
Brad_Coovert Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 7lbs 9oz. West Boggs Lake, Indiana ;D Not bad for Indiana though. That fish cursed me though. I've hooked a few that size since and have lost them all. :-[ Brad Quote
bassaddict62 Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 23 inches a few months ago. Guess it weighed around 7 pounds or so, because it wasn't very fat. I've caught bigger fish, but musky and carp don't count. This is only my second year of fishing exclusively for bass, and I think I'll beat this fish record soon. Quote
Axis Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Caught my personal best this morning! 8 lbs 5 oz. 24 1/2 in on spinnerbait in nearby pond Quote
DePoy79 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 24 inches 9lbs 7 ounces, only about two pounds from state record!! and i caught it on a live blue gill. i know, its horrible, but i saw her on her bed, and was throwing everything, worms lizards tubes , everything, so i caught a blue gill hooked it on an octopus hook, flung it on the bed and bam, fish of a lifetime. Quote
bowjunkie35 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 7lbs. 7oz. from a farm pond in Arkansas. Many 5's and 6's and a couple that I estimated at 7 but couldn't weigh. Actually had what myself and my partner estimated to be 9-10 lbs. on. I had this fish beat too. But we were fishing from shore with a thick weedline and instead of wading in to lip the fish past the weed line, I tried to horse it up over the weeds. Guess what happened! :'( Ruined the rest of my day! Quote
