How many bass did you catch this year?

[JigMe]

157 this year

[Jig Man]

The year isn't over yet. I'm shootin' for 500 but may not get them.

[Sam]

Counting takes the fun out of it.

Just go out and have a good time and don't worry about how many you catch or miss.

[grimlin]

Under 100.

I only fish for bass from late April-October. I did better this year from shore than I did the previous years. I know I could have had way more if I had something to get on the water.So my Goal now is to figure out how I can get on the water next season.

[Grey Wolf]

I don't count anymore , just fish and enjoy myself.

[Brian Needham]

over 100, but I only started bass fishing in July .

[Red]

Am am just shy of 400, but the year ain't over yet!!

[JigMe]

Wow... Over 1k, I need to get a bass boat lol.

[Wayne P.]

2,353 so far this year. Yes, I keep count, been doing it for over 35 years.

[Goose52]

Wow... Over 1k, I need to get a bass boat lol.

A boat certainly helps - but not totally necessary if you have access to enough water for bank fishing. My 1041 bass number is 847 from the bank, only 194 from a boat. Just didn't get the canoe in the water much this year compared to last year. My 9.06 LMB PB was caught from the bank...

[Hamby]

I don't count, but i didn't do as well this year as last. At least not in the fish/hour category. Dunno about total.

[slonezp]

Couple here. Couple there.

[Buckeye Bassin]

I'm gonna keep better track next season. I might get a couple more weekends in yet, but I'm around 60-70. Hoping for triple digits next year for sure.

[ChiCityBasser]

Right now I'm over 200 fishing from the shore and before the freeze I'm hoping to get closer to 250.

[Bankbeater]

I am at 139 right now. Hoping to break 150 over the weekend since it will be the last time I can go out this year.

[flippin and pitchin]

I didn't catch as many as I would have liked, but then I didn't get to fish as much either.

I did improve my overall average size dramatically though. I had my best year with fish

over four pounds for sure. I had some excellent trips and some tough ones. The conditions this spring were

terrible. I did mange to imrove my PB smallmouth to a 5-5 but missed my goal of a six or better.

Overall, I had a good year and now it's time for late silvers and winter steelhead.

[roadwarrior]

Don't know for sure, but my best day last year was on the BassResource

Roadtrip at Pickwick. 78 bass and some trash fish including a MONSTER

catfish on a Swarming Hornet/ LFT Live Magic Shad. That might have been

my best single day in terms of numbers, but this year has been much better

overall.

My best week was a few year ago. The two in my avatar were caught on a

Saturday in January followed a week later with fifteen smallmouth, eight

over 5 lbs. These are pics from that outing:

Too many to count I had a couple days north of 100 fish and a few days that were close. There were lots of tough days mixed in there too but it's been a good year with low water and concentrated fish.

[Fishmaster10]

I'm at 632 as of today

[Ratherbfishing]

I lost count. Did well overall except in my local pond/lake. There, things have been rough-not nearly as many bigger bass and fewer bass, on average, than previous years. Even the bluegill population was waaay down. Most lakes have good and bad years. I hope it's just part of the natural cycle.
