fishizzle Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I have advocated for years that northern strain LMB should have a seperate record status from Florida strian LMB. They may look similar, but they are not the same bass; different number of lateral line scales for example. My PB northen LMB was caught from lake Casitas back in 1971; 12lbs 4 oz, also on a jig. The world record northen should be around 15 lbs., so any 10+ NLMB is a trophy bass, where a 15+ should be the bench mark for FLMB, since they can grow more than 5 lbs. heavier. Size is realtive to where you live, the climate and type of bass. WRB thanks for havin my back WRB I still haven't broken 6lbs yet but I'm still trying Like Ike says "NEVER GIVE UP" Quote

Jeff C. Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 OK, To add to the above post I made.. I couldn't remember the magazine name ,, had to go look,, May/June 2007 North American Fisherman page 60.. also,, I would like to note,, To any of you guys that have caught big Bass,, this is awsome !!!! that gives us guys hope that we too, will maybe some day hook onto a Monster!!!! the Michigan state Record is smaller than a lot of bass you guys on here have caught..... if my info is correct.... Mich. Rec. LGM--1934--YES 1934,, Big Pine Island Lake 11.94 pounds then in 1959,, a bass of the exact size was caught on a Pond.. Jeff Quote
tfisherman Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Actually, I caught the world record bass! But... I foul hooked it so I threw it back, I'm that honest!! Yeah, I caught it showed it to only my friends and then called my lawyer who doesn't bass fish but told me it'd be in my best interest to release the fish so I listened to him. Where did I catch it? Well, I caught it in this small obscure lake that no ones ever heard of. It's a great lake! Me and my friends have all caught several bass that have been close to the record before but I guess I got lucky? Well, I did pay I guy a $Grand$ to let me fish it...he wasn't available for comment though. :-? : :-/ :-[ :'( > Quote
