Super User Goose52 Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 Seeing as I have never caught three 3lbers in a day nor have I caught a 9lber, I will gladly trade my nine 1lbers for either scenario. It's all about perspective for sure! Hang in there, the bigger fish will come along... Quote
Super User islandbass Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 I'd be fine with the 9, small or large, but a 9 lb smallie? You'd hear me Iaconelli'ing it on the east coast. Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 IDK if this had been posted before but would you rather catch three, three pounders or one nine pounder? I personally would rather catch the nine pounder because I don't catch many fish that break five pounds so my adrenaline would be pumping for a few days after. 9 pounder ...... uh, why so small ? :-?

Missouribassman95 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 I'll make it more challenging. A six and three pounder, or a nine pounder? Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 I'll make it more challenging. A six and three pounder, or a nine pounder? How is that more challenging? 9 pounder all day. Here's two sixers (6-8 and 6-0) caught within two hours. Part of a 20+ lb. sack for the day. Quote
wisconsin heat Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 i'd be ecstatic for one three pounder Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 A 9 pounder. I'd be so pumped that I probably wouldn't be able to sit down the rest of the day. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted February 9, 2011 Super User Posted February 9, 2011 I'll make it more challenging. A six and three pounder, or a nine pounder? For me - it would still be a 9 pounder, especially since my PB LMB is only 7-12. Two days ago I got 7 bass for a total of 23.41lbs; best 5 were 19.51lbs; the heaviest two fish were 5.31 and 4.87...........I'd trade 'em all for a 9 pounder ! Now, if I already had a PB higher than 9, I might go for the more action.... Quote
farmpond1 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 The implication is that a 9 lber could/would be caught. If that were the case, I'd go for the 9 lb fish. But in my waters where a 9 lb bass is less common than an honest Chicago politician (but only slightly) I'd have to realistically settle for the three 3 lbers. Quote
piscicidal Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I'll make it more challenging. A six and three pounder, or a nine pounder? Still not even close... In 2010 my biggest bass was 8.5lb, while catching 14bass over 5 lb. A nine pounder is hard to come by (even in Florida). It's worth WAAAYYYYY more than a 6 and a 3. Quote
DeanFishesNY Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 It depends on where you're fishing I guess. Here in the Northeast a 9lber is almost unheard of and I would take a 9 lb bass over 5 5lbers easy. It would be a fish of a lifetime. Quote
Fishmaster10 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I would definitely take the 9 pounder any day of the week Quote
Fishing Cowgirl Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 The nine, definetly! It would be my PB. Quote
Luke at Gouldsboro Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 no doubt, I'd take the 9 pounder. but I'd also take what I could get..... Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted February 22, 2011 Super User Posted February 22, 2011 Nine-pounder for sure. On February 8th, I answered this question theoretically. Yesterday (February 22) I caught my first 9 pounder (9.06). ...my answer is STILL the nine pounder for SURE! Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted February 22, 2011 Super User Posted February 22, 2011 I'd take one nine pounder over 30 three pounders. Amen! Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted February 22, 2011 Super User Posted February 22, 2011 I'll take any fish right about now. I think hell may officially freeze over. I'm gonna say it... I agree with BC. ;D Quote
Bass Junkie Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Nine..... No question. A nine pound Northern Strain?? I'd take that over a 10lb Florida anyday! Quote
Daniel My Brother Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 How about this...One day of fishing you can have 3 nine pounders or 1 ten pounder, which do you choose? Quote
farmpond1 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 How about this...One day of fishing you can have 3 nine pounders or 1 ten pounder, which do you choose? This question is obviously directed to those who reside/fish in a different universe than me. Since my largest bass is just over 6 lbs (and I've been fishing for 35 years), I'll just be happy if I remain healthy enough to keep fishing. Quote

I've never caught a single 8, much less a 9...but as long as we're playing make-believe... Quote
