Personal Best Smallest Bass 2024


fishing user avatarBassObsessed reply : 

If this is a bass I caught my biggest and smallest bass ever in a 2 month span. One of my private ponds I noticed a clump of fry swimming around near the bank so I reached with a tiny net and caught some of them.

I've caught some pretty tiny runts over the years, but you're PB has got me beat    :thumbsup_blue:

 

Anglers are known for puffing the goods, now we will find out if this is a bidirectional tendency   :grin:

Bass? Or just any fish?


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

Not the smallest bass but one of the smallest smallmouth I've ever caught. Little guy slammed the bait. That's a massive KVD 1.0 (2" 1/4oz) crankbait that he decided to try to tackle.

Had a pretty similar sized one knock the fire out of a 78 pointer on the same lake a couple years before.

The fish in this thread make my smallest bass look like a lunker. This was caught last summer in a local pond on a 1/16 oz Rapala floating minnow.

fishing user avatarRSM789 reply : 

I vote that netting doesn't count, since it wouldn't count for largest PB if you just scooped her up with a net.

 

I would also suggest that all candidates need to be no more than 150% of the length than the lure they were caught on.  This means that most entrants would be caught on crankbaits & topwaters, but I did snag a LM smaller than a football jig once.  I can only imagine that he pecked the head of the jig & then didn't get out of the way when I set the hook.

Look at my avatar, that's pretty small. That's a Sexy Dawg Jr. she hit. Pretty aggressive little bass.

 

Dwight, that picture is hilarious.

Cool pictures Guys! I don't have one... But, I caught a 4" FLMB on a 6" golden shiner in the St. John's river... No hook needed. It ( shiner) was stuck in the basses mouth... I couldn't believe it...

That's what I call a gutsy hookset...


fishing user avatarRSM789 reply : 

Yeah, I felt bad about it, but in typical Rock Bass fashion, he swam away like nothing much happened when I released him.  I half expected to see a bass swim up and inhale him as he made his way back to the shoreline cover.


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

Fishing for catfish bait a couple days ago when I caught this prize winner! That's shorten 2" grub on a 1/80th ounce jighead for scale :)

fishing user avatarMeridian69 reply : 

I have to add mine to this thread. I caught this little guy on a Rapala DT4. The DT4 was 15-20x bigger than this bass. It was hooked through the lip (no clue how this happened) and was successfully release. By far the smallest fish I have ever caught. Enjoy!

Come on, people.  Show some respect for the fish.  Hold them vertically or horizontally with both hands.  :trans5:

lol or put them in a little plastic bag with water like goldfish at the fair....


fishing user avatarRSM789 reply : 

I actually have a lot of respect for little fish like this. Any bass that has the huevos to try to eat something his own size deserves our care. I want that fish breeding in the future.

I agree with respecting all fish, no matter the size.

I didn't even know he was on there.  I don't know what possessed him to even try for it...

I think I tied that yesterday, also on a Rapala lure (X-Rap).  This guy was such a stud that he didn't bother nipping at the rear feathered hook, he went straight for the middle of the bait.  

"...Get in my belly..."

I see what ya'll doing, trying to hide the fact that you caught a double digit Mexican slaunch of a largemouth on the next cast :P


fishing user avatarAndrewJ reply : 

Probably not my smallest, but this is the most recent one on film.  Caught on a 5 inch grub and 1/4 oz ball head jig. PBSB(1).jpg
