22" and didn't get a weigh so your guess is as good as mine.  Got it on a t-rigged weightless 4" blue pearl/blk & holo flake senko on a 6'-6" BPS carbonlite MH/F and President XT with10 # sufix siege right after it missed a pop-r

For me, several between 6 and 7 pounds. PB caught on a baitcaster.

 

Pic in my avatar was one of the 6 pounders.

 

Gear for that fish was a 5'9" Shimano Compre + Shimano Stradic 1000FI, 10 lb PowerPro with an 8lb leader.


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

Well...Just over 7 and my PB, just over 8

My biggest bass ever caught on spinning gear was 24". It was in a small pond in the middle of nowhere in Northeast Pennsylvania.. I caught it near a stick-up after seeing a swirl in the water, on a 4" junebug Yum dinger, using 8 lb test Yo Zuri Hybrid line, an Okuma 7' Reflexions rod, and a cheap Daiwa 8 ball bearing spinning reel.

10lbs or so......     :)

fishing user avatarAK-Jax86 reply : 

6lbs 10oz on a 6'9" St Croix Mojo Bass rod I forget what I was using to catch it probably a spinner bait, jig, or crank


fishing user avatarArv reply : 

The one in my picture. Just over 6


fishing user avatargallowaypt reply : 

26-27 in. bass caught during the spawn. Didn't get her weight but she would've been an easy DD if she hadn't dropped her eggs already.


fishing user avatarTeal reply : 

6.5 lbs +/- Largemouth.

10-11lbs Striper


fishing user avatarbuzzbait4me reply : 

Not sure on the exact weight but it was over six pounds while fishing a split shot rig with a zoom baby brush hog on 8lb flouro.


fishing user avatarBankbeater reply : 

The only one I can think of without looking at my logs went 4-01, and it was on a baby brush hog on a split shot rig.


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

7.49

Nice carp. I snagged one on a ultralite Shakespeare rod with 6 lbs test. It was like 10 lbs and snagged near the tail. Took me over 20 minutes to land it. Good times.

fishing user avatarwnybassman reply : 

As far as bass on spinning gear, a few upper 5 pound largemouth and a few lower 6 pound smallies.

 

As far as other species, this on a 7' ultralight with 4 pound flouro.  45 minutes and had the trolling motor on high chasing it trying not to get spooled.

Holy cow! That was an incredible catch on 4 lb line. Were you praying that the line didn't snap?


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

6.5 on a 3" grub

This was my biggest fish on spinning gear. Not sure what she weighed, bottomed out my 50lb scale.
