EastTexasBassin Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 over 5 is a big fish to me over 8 is a hawg Quote
endless Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I know answers are going to vary based on your location and whatnot but at what point do you consider a bass to be "big". As soon as it gets away!! that happen to me today. lol but seriously it did. though it wasnt big it might been the biggest in this pond im fishing but everything so far i had to throw back. so far their under a foot. but i found a spot on this pond that looks promising to have any of size it will have to be here. heres is an attachment of what i caught today on a three inch popper. and where ima hit next time i go back to see what lies underneath. i havent hit this spot yet its on the other side of pond notice it when i walked it. most of the pond is was fishing has mainly just a few vegetation like the other pic of the pond Quote
RhodyBass Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Here in Ohio 5lbs is a BIG fish In R.I. also Quote
D4u2s0t Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 considering the state record for a lm is under 11, i'll most likely not get too many double digits here lol. 11 would be a new state record. sm is a lil over 7. biggest sm i've caught was 2-3. biggest lm under 5. Quote
nevadafishinkid Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 i aggree anything over four is a big fish but where i live in nevada over 5 is a monster the bass dont grow to much aronund here i caught a six pounder over the fourth it was a huge bass for around here it was awesome Quote
-HAWK- Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Florida Strain 2-4 lbs = average 5-9 lbs = good catch 10+ = BIG Quote
farmpond1 Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Any bass that is bigger than my bait is big to me. Quote

Super User Matt Fly Posted July 15, 2009 Super User Posted July 15, 2009 I think the lake defines what a trophy is by its numbers. lake Travis in TX has a 14+ lake record, but yields very few DD's throughout the year. An 8lber there is a true hawg for that lake. Where as on lake Fork, an 8lber is an average slot fish. Depends on region and the lake. Quote
Lynx Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA ANYTHING UNDER 5LBS IS A "OK FISH" 5LBS IS CONSIDERED A "GOOD FISH" 6-8LBS IS CONSIDERED A "BIG FISH" 9+LBS IS CONSIDERED A "HAWG OR BIG KAHUNA" THERE'S A BIRD SANCTUARY ABOUT 2 MILES FROM MY HOME, W/ A POND THAT REALLY SHOULD BE CONSIDER A MINI LAKE. (TAKES ABOUT 9 HOURS TO FLOAT TUBE THE WHOLE POND) IN THIS POND ITS A COMMON DAY THING TO LAND LARGEMOUTH THAT ARE 4-7+LBS. (DON'T GET ME WRONG THERE'S LITTLE GUYS IN THERE TO) NOT TO MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS POND OR FISH IT AT THAT. THE BIGGEST ONE I HAVE SEEN THERE WAS LANDED BY A FRIEND OF MINE, TUBING NEXT TO ME. 10LBS 7OZS. USING A YAMAMOTO SENKO (WATERMELON) ON A TEXAS RIG. (TAKLE: SHIMANO "CURADO E," 7'6" SHIMANO CARBON POLE, 15LBS FLUOROCARBON) "HAWG," YEA I WOULD HAVE TO SAY SO. GOOD LUCKS TO YOU ALL IN CATCHING THE "BIG KAHUNA." Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted July 16, 2009 Super User Posted July 16, 2009 Around here 2+ is avg. size, 3+ is above avg. and anything 5+ is a hawg! Quote

BassDeaton01 Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Anything 3lbs or over constitutes a big fish in my book. Quote
SuperNewbie Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 without a scale i have know real ability to know how big my Biggest is or where i even start big "10lb bass on the thumbs is a 2lber on the scale" Quote
NasTMcfingas Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 5lbs & up = Big fish 2Lbs-4lbs = nice fish 1/2lb-1 = warm up Quote
D4u2s0t Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 without a scale i have know real ability to know how big my Biggest is or where i even start big "10lb bass on the thumbs is a 2lber on the scale" some guy last night got a smallmouth that was less than a foot, I would say maybe 9-10 inches. started saying "Wow, that's a 3 pounder, easy!" i was like I don't understand lol. I got one last night just under 5, and that was a "big" fish 8-) Quote
