OMG, NEW PB! 2024
rocknfish9001 reply :
Well day started off slow, very slow. I managed one bit eventually on the buzzbait, and my buddy hooked into one on a sweet beaver exact same time. Mine was just over 2, his was just over 1lb. I swithced to a bullribbbit, which seemed more practical due to the weeds. A couple of strikes, but all lost fish. On one particular cast, i got a strike, and the fish clearly missed the bait, and i continued my retrieve. Luckily i hit it again moments later, and i hooked into an ok fish. It made a bulldog run by the boat and eventually i got it up. HOLY $#!& the head on this thing! I got it in, and needless to say, new pb! And i just bought these baits today. I think i like them. This beats my old pb caught on a buzzbait. Any guesses on the weight of this fish? I also ended the day with a fish going 3 1/2 lbs. And caught 2 little guys going around 14 inches each. My buddy also caught another smallish bass. Well here is the 2lber i caught in the beginning
rocknfish9001 reply :
and the 3.5 i caught later that day
rocknfish9001 reply :
And the moment youve been waiting for, the fish of a lifetime, for a michigan guy like myself at least. Any guesses?

T-rig reply :
How do you know it's your PB? Don't tell me you weighed all the other fish but not the biggest or is this a contest ;D ;D ;D ;D
Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

Ky_Lake_Dude reply :

basspro48 reply :

MattStrykul reply :
That is a really really nice fish man. Congrats.
Pond Hopper reply :
5 lbs 11 oz, big head, skinny body...but still one hell of a fish. Congratulations and now you have something to chase after. 
SneakySnook reply :
I will say 7lbs. WTG! Great looking fish.
Infidel. reply :
Regardless of the size that is a nice fish.
BTY, it looks like you could use a cheeseburger. Perhaps you should have kept one of those for dinner
Just kidding dude! You are just making us all look bad.
Lightninrod reply :

rocknfish9001 reply :
Well i did weight it and was wondering what results i would get. It was an ounce shy of 7lbs. But the head on this thing was unbelievable, i thought it was 8 or better for sure when i saw its mouth surface. I could fit both of my hands in its mouth. If it had a full belly with eggs, im sure it would be an 8lber. Lets wait and see what spring has in store..
rocknfish9001 reply :
infidel- i actually tried really hard to gain weight, its impossible!! I ate like a pig and lifted every day. I got up to 140lbs, but shrank back down to 132 after track season. I didnt get big, but i got my bench press up to 195lbs, which is totally necessary for hoisting monster fish like this.
David P reply :
Head looks all of 7lbs, but body is much smaller, and looks more like 6ish. I'd say for sure between 6-7. Congrats man!
roadwarrior reply :
Great fish, nice pic.
Congratulations!

Laineisbosshog reply :

Like I said, I'm just screwing with you. It think it is just funny because the stereotypical bass fisherman has a few pounds to lose. Enjoy it while you have it.
sodaksker reply :
What?!! Are you calling me fat? ;D
I obviously need to get an updated photo in my avatar. I mean..I got a lot of shirts on in this pic.
" I'm a g d dam good looking man" ;D ;D Anybody recognize that?

I'm in the same boat as RocknFish, I'm 19, just hair shy under 6ft, and weigh 140. For about 3 years I was stuck weighing 125-130. No matter what I eat, no matter if I drink weight gainer, or whatever, just can't get past the 145 mark. I'm sure that will change, but I'll enjoy it for now.
TheBeast reply :
Great fish, if I had to guess I would say it is 6 lb. 15 oz.

You guys don't have to feel alone any more.
Shortly before my 39th birthday I finally managed to get 135# packed onto my 5' 10" frame. For 20 years I was stuck at 115 to 125.
Davis reply :
The weight will come guys believe me. ;D
I weighed a whomping 148 lbs when I graduated highschool.
I'm now 27 years old and have flucuated between 198-210 for the past four years.
Now I can't lose that gut!!! :'(
bassdocktor reply :
Congrats. Healthy looking Michigan bass. Must be a good year for big bass in MI because I've been seeing more 5lbs or better fish than I remember over the last few years.

That's the way a lot of people used to look... before McDonald's came on the scene. >
Later on you'll wish you could get to that weight, believe me, I know.
BTW GREAT fish, I'm jealous
SouthMiamiBassMan reply :

Don't worry, when you go over the 30 year mark, gaining weight will be so much easier and the closest thing to a six pack you will see will be the beer you have on the boat.

Outstanding.
Out of all the posts I enjoy reading on BassResource.com, the "new pb's are my favorites.
I love it when a member, especially a new member catches his biggest fish .....yet!!
