New 2 Bass reply :
Nov 11 partially cloudy, winds out of the SE @ 5-7. 12 noon @ my pond.
Thanks again to all of you who taught me to bass fish over the net. Roadwarrior your "senko" thread is priceless. But I don't want to leave anyone out. I would have never, ever thought of throwing a blue stick bait before meeting up w/ y'all. Let alone a red hook, and green line. Ha!!
Today my son said, "Daddy, you are the Bass Master!" Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not kidding about the Beer and BBQ w/ y'all if you ever come down to the real deep south.

New 2 Bass reply :
Guys, sorry I have no weight. Its the only accessory the monkey hasn't made me buy yet. I feel compeled all of the sudden to purchase one, though! ;D
At the moment I am still high about the catch. The weight I'd guess is 5~, but I'm biased. As you can imagine.
She pulled the drag, man. Thats when I knew she was big. Unreal!!!!!!!
Makes a fella want to get a TV show and a sponsor, don't it!
Daniel My Brother reply :

AWESOME FISH!!!! Great job on hooking and landing that fish, and she looks a little bigger than 5 to me too 
New 2 Bass reply :
I feel its a Florida Special that ate a 1lbr. No FishChris sow, but its enough for me.
This pond actually gets fished alot. Everyone uses hard baits... I love my soft plastics.

Craw reply :
Real nice bass Man! Congratulations. Wild looking stickbait, who turned you on to that color?
Randall reply :
Nice fish! Its always hard to tell from a photo but it looks bigger than five to me too.
sodaksker reply :
Nice fish and congrats on your new PB. You are and will always be your son's hero. It is just nice to here it every once in awhile.
New 2 Bass reply :
The color idea I got from reading this site. "Natural Forage" and all that. I took my kid "catching" w/ hot dogs and circle hooks. We nailed a bunch of bluegills, and sunnys so...Blue/Green, and Yellowish/Black baits. I was doing pretty good w/ the zoom salty super fluke too in baby bass, and Arkansas shiner. The * stick is great, it really holds up. I learned about them from this site.
I'm hoping the beginners luck lasts for a while. I dont want that skunk showing up again.
This has been a heck of a ride guys...I really can not thank you enough.
Thanks Glenn for keeping the site up.
I could have never done it without y'all. Really.
Hillbilly_Hooker reply :
Yep, that's a hawg! Congrats!

This is the stuff that father and son memories are made of.
Cherish these moments.

Fish

Thats a nice BIG fish man, good job!
Dan: reply :
hmmm, did you catch any on the doritos? How did the Cool Ranch work? I usually prefer Nacho Cheddar
senile1 reply :
New 2 Bass, that is a beautiful fish. Dude, so you didn't weigh it, but did you get some measurements? You don't want to catch a PB and, at least, have some idea of what it weighed. Awesome outing. I'll bet your son is wound up and ready to fish.
SPEEDBEAD. reply :
Great looking catch...as far as the BBQ goes, sounds like a roadtrip!!!
New 2 Bass reply :
Thanks fellas, that means alot to me coming from you guys!!!
As for the Doritos....its funny, my kid was eating them when this pig hit. The moment I pulled her from the water. My son dropped the bag of chips and started hootin' and hollerin'. Kind of like I was. We looked like two kids at a Chrismas gift opening.
As for size/length, I am guessing 25-27. She was bigger that my shoe x 2. I wear a size 12 nike (which is 12") and my thumb to pinkey is 9" (like a Hang Loose). Girth is somewhere in the 19-22. I put the numbers into the cpu for the weight, but I cant believe she was really a double digit bass. She didn't FEEL like one, well I've never held one, but she didn't feel like a 10lb dumbbell. Maybe I was so amp'd on adrenaline I was numb. What a feeling. I know why you guys live for this!!!!!!
The weight is not so important (well, ok it is). I went and got that photo enlarged to hang in my side of the house. Too cool.
later
roadwarrior reply :
At the top of each Forum is a "Tacklebox" function. Inside the Tacklebox is a weight calculator. According to the BassResource calculator, 26" X 20" = 11.27 lbs.
Hula Popper reply :
That's a BIG FISH! Great job!
Bassassasin12 reply :
wow what a monster fish. Thats a very nice PB. Keep at it, in your part of the country, there is a bigger one... I can guarantee it
New 2 Bass reply :
I am truly humbled by everyones kind words. I can only look forward to fishing my mattlures swimbait for some REALLY big sow.
Roadwarrior I'd love to believe so. That pig, from the bank, on a lure, with my son. Ha!!! (my live bait friends still look like this )
For the record, the monkey hasn't let go of my ankle yet. I've looked at a bunch of scales in the last few days. What the hey is up w/ the prices? I can't believe what some of those things are going for. Crazy.
A little tid bit for you guys....Everyone I tell the story to, gets the pictures. They all say, "wow, big, etc". But the one that kills 'em is when I tell them I let her go. Some people can't believe it. Its like I'm the nut. Oh well. I guess its not for them.
later guys.
Pa Angler reply :
Congrats on the great fish good job.
sirmo reply :
New 2 bass....you are too funny. Cool to see people get so excited over big fish....I do too!!
Nothing gets 'em in ponds like that better than a senco. Keep it up!
Catt reply :
The two reasons I fish

You let her go, new to fishing, and a PB - Now that's Priceless!

QuoteI feel its a Florida Special that ate a 1lbr.
lol, where did you first hear this slogan? Just curious. Because I first used that saying about 1.5 years ago on another forum here in Florida the FBF. I haven't been a part of that forum for a year now and I still hear folks using that term. I am wondering if you heard it there? ;D
New 2 Bass reply :
QuoteQuoteI feel its a Florida Special that ate a 1lbr.lol, where did you first hear this slogan? Just curious. Because I resemble that remark ;D
I got it here. I had never heard of the "Florida Special" before. I'm not far behind ya w/ the 16oz curls and pork rinds.
Keithscatch reply :
Yeah I have used it here too. I guess that phrase is mine since as far as I know I was the first to use it. To be clear a Florida Special is a bass that is 13" or less. They seem to be the most prevelant here and thus the phrase "Florida Special" was born. ;D
Other members who post here also post on the FloridaBassForum site. It was funny to see you use it. I have heard folks using that phrase all over the place now. I guess I started something with that haha.

boondocks reply :
Isn't something how a big fish can make your day, sometimes your month. I wish my wife could figure that out.
