A friend from Fla. caught this Big Girl somewhere around DeFuniak Springs Fla. and from shore!!! All I could say was WOW He caught her on a Denny Brauer Pro Model jig and RAGE Chunk in Black and Blue... Said he caught another one on the same bait 3 days later and in the same spot that rivaled this one.
I told him if I were him, I'd buy that piece of ground he's standing on and Camp out on it.... with a fishing rod of course

17 lbs 4 oz, from what I can find
Thats a state record anywhere in virginia catch that baby again and well bring it up to va lol
( would never do such a thing ) fyi but thats a beauty
OMG..only 1/4lb off the state record. That's one more little brim for that toad.
Too bad theguy wasn't in the "State-by State" thread... 98.1% would be pretty hard to beat!
That thing is huge!! Do you know what they have been eating?
Could not imagine setting the hook on a fish like that!

The things I would do to land a fish that big! Good grief! It's a whale!
Speechless... Awesome fish.
Outstanding fish! I never think to use a jig from shore. Any idea how he caught it Big-O? Just dragging the jig on the bottom?
Gotta be 30 inches long or better. Just a mind-blowing bass.
That is a mammoth fish.. incredible catch congrats!
Thats one of the longest fish I have seen. And folks say the FL heat burns out fish before they get above 12#
NGaHB
A real beauty, congrats.
Awesome!!
Thats a hawg! the things i would do to catch that...
I've caught 4 fish this years that weight as much as that one........if I weigh them all together
What a fish. Nice catch
Thats a true Monarch!!!
does it hurt to hold a fish that big by the jaw like that? I never thought that you could get a fish that big from shore.
Holy schmoly. That thing is nuts! Congrats to your pal.
Great fi****here was an article in Bassmaster magazine sept./oct 2008 about a guy Jeffrey Smith whom had caught seven fish over 17 and four over 18 that year.The article was written by Dave Precht the editor in chief of the mag.He went with Jeffrey and on that trip ,Jeffrey caught a 14.4 lbs and Precht caught two over 11!
Point being,there are still some hawgs down here!That is still a giant ,congrats!
that thing eats the bass ive been catching for breakfast.
that is the reason I would like to live in Fla that is some bass...
