Most Bass You've Boated?

[Ratherbfishing]

Until very recently, the most (between a friend and me) was 70 bass. But two weekends ago, a different friend and I caught 135 bass and lost around 20 more. I still shake my head in disbelief. It was unbelievable!

I've had three triple digit days. One of those was actually my last trip out (7/7)...I got into a literal feeding frenzy out at the Everglades where I caught fish from a football-field sized area every other cast for ~two hours (I got tired and quit). It was certainly the most fish I've ever caught on one trip...I quit counting after ~80, but my final tally was probably closer to 200 than 100. My second time was also in the everglades...low water situation where the fish were stacked up in the canal and we just pounded them all day. My third was on Okeechobee, I found another feeding frenzy situation where schools of big bass were stacked into this small, shallow area gorging on spawning bluegill. I caught ~120 that day, with 30-40 of them over 3lbs and six over five. I figure I caught ~300lbs of bass that day.

Way to go Mike! I had a very similar outing on "the Lake" the week before and after the fabled best bass day of Mike's life, caught over 100 between my partner and I, up to about 5lbs in about 5 hours. Best numbers in a short period was about 30 bass in 30 minutes in a local rock pit, nothing over 2lbs though. Also had a great Everglades outing this past year, where we stopped counting after about 50 fish, but nothing over 2lbs. Need to go to Mexico and load up on 100 bass over 4lbs in a day that would be a dream, who is with me?

Never bothered to keep a tally, after 2 or 3 fish I forget, even if the fish are running 20#+, like this past Saturday.

Come on jacks don't count and after about 10 of them in the surf your arm falls off!

[Bass Junkie]

Best day ever was on a pond, caught the evening bite and caught 40 in the time I was there including two over 5lbs. and two 6.5s. All were on either waking swimbaits or topwaters....

[Grey Wolf]

I lost count at twenty when I ran out of fingers and toes to keep count with but it was well over twenty.

If I am correct Wayne, that would have been opening week-end at Hunting Run?? Fished the Sunday of that opening week-end with a friend and caught 75+ with most fish between 3-5 lbs with a few in the 6+ range. Had 2 giants down near the dam come off after we got a good look at them. Wish they would drop the water level back down. That was epic!! What a feeling to try and shake off 4 lbers looking for bigger fish, and to hook up with 5 lbers and see four or more bigger fish with it trying to get the bait away from the one you have hooked up. Once in a lifetime experience!!

Correct lake, but not opening day, I was at Lake Guntersville when it opened. It was the first day I fished there though and the next week I caught 146. That was Oct 4th and 10th, 2007. Opening day of 2008, I had one of my heaviest 5 bass for a day of 30# 11 oz. March 6th.

I've caught over 100 bass in a day there 4 times this year.

My best day was boating 30 largemouth in one trip.

[Fish Chris]

Of course way back in the day, I had many trips where I caught too many dink bass, to keep count. But apparently, that meant little to nothing to me, as I really can't tell you anything else about those trips.

On the other hand, I can go through my photos, looking at a whole bunch of trips when I caught only 1 big fish, and tell you every detail surrounding that catch.

me and a friend of mine got over 300 smallmouth at harpers ferry in 1 day .most of them are small but there were a couple in the 2-3 pound range.

I know it sounds unbelievable but true nonetheless

I've only targeted bass for about 2years so I don't have has much experience as some of you S Fla veterans. But that day was special. I had to pole my flats boat thru about8" water to get back to this spot. When I got back there and saw what was going on (huge swarms of monster bass just punishing spawning bluegill) my heart skipped about four beats. The water was 1.5' deep and crystal clear. You could see everything. It was literally a top20 event in my life...birth-of-your-kids type stuff! :-)

[jignfule]

We can catch 60-80 each a day quite regularly in a certain lake we fish, most are 1#-3# some smaller, some larger, We could catch near 100 if we fished for dinks with senko all day. Never have kept any. It's been over 20 years since I kept a bass.

[TanTheMan]

im 57 years old....ive caught at lease 1000 fish in the past couple years....my favorite bait would have to be the black and yellow spinner....you can cover alot of ground in very little time..a spinner is also a quick and easy tool to test the waters youre in

When that water gets low in the Glades and the fish get stuck in the canals, it is easy to do 100+ days with most being keepers. I've never had that kind of experience at the Lake but I can only imagine how awesome that must be.

We did do the Mexico thing at Mateos in 2008 and it is just silly catching 50+ 4s-7s all day plus numerous other smaller bass (just the 2s and 3s). I'm telling you it just warps you for some time. It makes the day like I had at Sawgrass this past Sunday, 7 hours without a bite, even out LOL

[SGT Rico]

How do ya'll keep up with the numbers? Thats crazy, I've had great numbers days, but I cannot recall the amount.

[Gatorbassman]

My record is 224 largemouth that were 2lbs or better. But I think I have a slight advantage because of the lake I fish.

[John G]

I do all of my fishing from shore and I'll bet that I have never landed more than 3 bass of any size in a one day period. I have been fishing for bass on and off since I was 12 and I am 41 now.

[Siebert Outdoors]

I've had a few 100+ smallie days on St Clair and Rainy lake. Wears ya out after awhile.

[Lucky Craft Man]

Several times when I lived in Erie, Pa I had 120 fish days (smallmouth). LM not quite as good, but my best day was 29.

I had some momumental days on Erie as well. Anyone who has fished that lake with some regularity has had at least one 100+ fish day. Great fishery.

[Shane Procell]

My first trip into the glades I caught 85...I have been spoiled every since. Have had several 300 plus fish days between two or us. Went through 13 sacks of worms on one of those trips. Most intense was a husband/wife client that boated over 50 fish in an hour. We had to pull the plug and run for our lives due to lightening and blinding rain. If the bilge had quit we would have sunk.

I have also been skunked too many times to remember

[SoFlaBassAddict]

I've had a handful of triple digit days fishing solo out on some of the strip pits down here. Just awesome fun. Generally anything you do works on those few special trips. Shame that those days don't happen more often. One of those days were where I started getting confidence with fishing a jig. Some of my more memorable trips were where I caught less fish, but fishing with other people. I've had a couple of fantastic fishing trips with forum members here. We don't always find the numbers, but I remember every one of them just because of how much I enjoyed the day.

[jignfule]

Quality over Quantity, many days we could have landed triple digits but it would have been pretty much small bass on senko (boring) Now for those who catch 3-5# plus and get into triple digits. I don't think I want to hears about it. (but go ahead)

WOW!!! has the housing market in Florida

A friend and I, while canoeing Oregon's Umqua river--a relatively fast piece of water--, have several times exceeded 100 sm each. After a while your thumb starts to bleed from grasping the lower jaw. You could hardly call them bragging fish.
