My Quest For A Big Bass Is Over... Pb Baby!! 2024
Catch and Grease reply :
Well guys I've been trying to catch a big bass and I finally did it!
Went out today and threw a 12" worm for a hour or so with no success so I switched to a 1/2oz black and blue structure jig with a Big bite baits craw trailer and caught her!! Thanks guys! Bassresource has made me such a better angler and I couldn't have done it without yall...
The more I tried targeting big bass the more I realized it wasn't for me... So this ends my big bass quest. Its tough, going hours without a bite waiting for that one good one is hard on your mind.
An old rusty scale we had said 5lbs for what its worth, that's a PB for me, I finally broke 5!!!

Dwight Hottle reply :
PB's are sweet but they are meant to be broken. Congrats.
Catch and Grease reply :
Well I'm not done trying to catch big bass! I'm just done trying to solely target the biggest bass in a body of water, I'm gonna go back to targeting that balance between size and numbers...
BassinLou reply :
Well done. WTG!! You kept at it. Your quest has only just begun. 
Comfortably Numb reply :
Nice job. You deserve it.
Jolly Green reply :
That's a good feeling. Congrats!
gulfcaptain reply :
Why stop at one? Repeat what you did and look for the same conditions and cover and see if you can't put another one in the boat.

Anything 5+ is totally validating of all our ridiculous obsession... Once you've pulled one in, it all makes sense 
BassObsessed reply :
Congrats on your PB. Is that a grumman boat?

Idk what the brand is its just a Jon boat Lol...
einscodek reply :
I wouldnt go poundage, I'd say anything 19-20"-ish+
We are talking fish who can easily take out younger bass
and btw that cyprus swamp you fishin', I could throw cigar topwaters all day for some monsters
DogBone_384 reply :
Congratulations on your PB!
You do know PB's are almost always temporary, so good luck beating this one.

It reminded me of my Grumman boat about 25 years ago with a Mariner on the back..
Good luck on your next PB.
Catch and Grease reply :
Well I'll tell y'all one thing, I have a lot more confidence in a jig now!

Congrats!
SPEEDBEAD. reply :
So, what did you learn?
Nice fish.
Catch and Grease reply :
Well I'm actually quite proud of myself because I applied all the information you guys gave me in those big bass threads on that day and it paided off.
WRB mentioned fishing around depth changes in the trees so I found a spot with lots of big bass forage like bream and such and it had good depth changes an plenty of cover, so I got out the jig and started moving tree to tree fishing the jig slow. I was throwing the jig out and letting it sink, id let it sit on the bottom motionless then shake it alittle in case a bass followed it on the fall. If a bass didn't get it at that point id start hoping and dragging it really slow back to the boat then rinse and repeat.

Catch and Grease reply :
I kept telling myself the first 5lb bass I catch is getting mounted, someone dropped it off at the taxidermist yesterday morning. I hope it turns out good!!
I didn't get to see what condition it was in when being dropped off. She was in the freezer over night I hope it didnt get damaged... I had her wrapped in a trash bag.
boostr reply :
Should of measured and weighed it with a pic and got a cast mount instead, but then again there is probably a crap load of bass that size in that lake.
boostr reply :
I would have to do that up here though. That would be considered a Lunker which would also be a breeder so personally I'd release it after pics and measurements. Just like you I would definitely make a trophy for the accomplishment

Congrats!

Awsome fish!
missouribigbass reply :
Targeting big bass doesn't mean waiting for hours to get bit. A good ol 10 inch ribbon tail will catch bass all day long 15in and up mostly. I fish for big bass every time out that's it. I'd rather catch one good fish than 20 2lbers
Justin Mott reply :
Great Catch! I imagine you'll have many more coming to you whether you are targetting them or not.

Lol it wasn't much of a fight, I was fishing pads and grass with 50lb braid and a tight drag. So I horsed her away from the pads and she jumped once, right into my net!
