7-3 on a Sweet Beaver in March

6 pounder caught yesterday, I caught it on a 5" green Senko.  I'm goin to VA for a couple of weeks in a month or so.  Hopefully I'll beat my PB of 8 1/2 lbs when I go down there.

I caught an 8 pound 5 ounce Florida LM bass last Sunday morning at 6:05 AM on a Strike King Bleeding Bait Series white w/red buzzbait.Bent that thing all to hail and back.Also caught a 4 pound 1 ounce LM pitching a watermelon candy 4" FLW tube into a laydown.I've caught an 8-5 and an 8-2 so far this spring.

6 lb smallie caught while I was walleye fishing on a jighead tipped with a leech.

Only numbers of LM for me this year.  I've been trying lot's of new places/baits and trying to up my game.  I've been out with a couple of tourney guys and I see that I need to step it up if I'm gonna do any tourney fishing.  These massive impoundments are way different than all of the farm ponds that I grew up on.  Nothing over 4lbs. for me so far this year.  They get much larger than that here in S. KS.  I'll post if I catch a monster!

4.8 lbs.  I like to leave some room for improvement...

Last weekend(ish) on a 5" green pumpkin Strike King ZERO

3/14/06 @12:15 pm - 9lb 1oz. on a 5" green pumpkin SENKO.

[Javelin_Venom]

4 pounds even on a Peanut Butter Jelly Bannana Bandit Medium Diving Crankbait out of a 30 acre Indiana farm pond in mid-April.

[Captain Cali]

4 pounds 8 ounces on a 5" Senko (Purple Pearl w/Blue Flake). I have lost a couple that were probably 5+. :'(

  Weight:  205 lbs

      Length:  68inches

      Girth:  way over the limit

      Species:  Manbass

      Bait:  fifth of Jack Daniels

      Place:  unidentified bass boat

What I really want to comment on is Don_B's baby bass.  Isn't it amazing how agressive and spirited little bass are?  I (the human "I") often catch bass no bigger than a #11 Rapala, and they sock it like

a home-run hitter.  Evolution at work.  From the day they are out in the world, every little bass seems to know to get moving, keep moving, eat on the move. --Just like great bass fisherfolk.  

Great fish from Day One.

Yes it is. I've caught plenty of big bass over the years, but it still surprises me when you pull a pretty decent-sized lure out of the water with a little bass like that on the end of it. If they got big enough, I'm sure they'd eat us too without much reservation.

This is a fish I caught in Lake Toho, FL on a 5" YUM dinger - Ozark Smoke 5/10/2006

scaned from a poloroid(fish held toward camera).

Captured from video(same fish).

Notice the color difference and overall appearence of me and the fish. Neither picture was streched or altered in any way.

She weighed 9 lbs 6 oz.

*Just want to point out that I am more impressed by many of the other fish posted. Any fish trophy is relative to the water from where it was caught. A fish like this is less rare in Lake Toho, than a 5 or 6 pounder where some of yours was caught. It's compairing apples and oranges really.

AmBASSador,

I don't know about that "relative to the water from where it was caught". Although I appreciate your modesty, 9 lbs 6 oz. is a GREAT bass!

Congratulations. I can't wait to see some of your "big" bass.

I've caught a couple that went 5ish.  Both on Senko's.  Been a really slow year for large fish here.  Craziest weather I've seen in my parts this spring in awhile.  

[VaBass80]

Largest one this year was 4lbs 5oz off a neon black yum crawbug 3.5"inch version

Dido, I have caught 2 now that are 5ish and both on green Senkos. But two days ago I caught a 28lb carp. That was fun.
