David301 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I caught this lovely 9.5 pound lady around sunrise the morning of July 17th. Yes, she was released to be caught another day. I am still working on breaking the Maryland state record of 11.2 lbs..... Pic below. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted July 17, 2011 Super User Posted July 17, 2011 Kinda disappointed. I was expecting a pic of Oprah in a bikini Beautiful fish. What was the magic bait? Quote
David301 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Posted July 17, 2011 Kinda disappointed. I was expecting a pic of Oprah in a bikini Beautiful fish. What was the magic bait? Thank you The fishing has been dead in this pond for the last 3 weeks...have not been catching anything, not even small ones. One morning 2 weeks ago I noticed what I believed to be a large Bass nail and engulf a baby duck off of the waters surface. So after weeks of fishing my normal spinnerbaits, jigs and chatterbaits with no success, I figured why not try some top water. Kinami Jay Walker Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted July 17, 2011 Super User Posted July 17, 2011 That bass looks chunky! Nice one you got there. Quote
ICU812 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Huge Fish WTG! Super fat and not too old judging by the eye. Really interesting coloring too - almost looks a little sick or something with the red tail and the pale coloration. Man what a bass! Thanks for sharing what worked for you! Quote

Thanks..not sure about the red tail, but we have had some rain here recently and the water is murky and not as clear as it normally is, so that may contribute to her pale color. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted July 17, 2011 Super User Posted July 17, 2011 That's a toad for sure. Congrats on the fish & for thinking outside the box. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted July 17, 2011 Super User Posted July 17, 2011 Awesome fish! Would love to catch one like that on topwater!!!!! Jeff Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted July 17, 2011 Super User Posted July 17, 2011 Nice WTG I got that same lure and haven't caught anything on it maybe ill try throwing it again my next outing. You'll get that record for sure if she makes it a few more years or if there's bigger in that pond Quote
