Post Photos Of Your Double Digit Bass 2024
Dead River reply :
Post photos of your double digit black bass. Nothing under 10 lbs please. Here are mine. Two were donated, which I would never do again. The others were released. Please disregard the over extended jaw photos near the bottom, as you can see I have long since learned how to properly hold them. The jaw hold on the F1 below is very appropriate.
F1 Largemouth 10 lbs 8 oz 24" x 20.5" (total length) 02/29/12
Largemouth 10 lbs 10z - - w/ channel catfish in throat - 02/22/12 Not measured! DOH! I believe this fish is an FX
F1 Largemouth - 10 lbs 1 oz 25" x 18 7/8" girth (total length) -02/15/12
Largemouth 12 lbs 4 oz 25" x 21 1/8" (tail open) - 02/09/12 my PB - I'm leaning toward FX
Largemouth - 10 lbs plus (10.37) 25"x19" (tail open) - 02/02/12 I am almost positive this is an F1
Fx Largemouth 10 lbs 25 1/8" x 18 1/4" (tail open) 04/09/09
Fx Largemouth 10 lbs 8 oz 26"x19" -tail open-- 03/12/09
Fx Largemouth 10 lbs 3 oz 26"x19" -tail open-- 03/11/09 The biggest framed bass I have ever caught, my pb is comparable but this fish is a tad bigger, imagine if she had a huge distended gut.
Dead River reply :
it would not allow me to post all of the photos i wanted in the original post so i'll add them here.
above photo is my personal best being released. looks like a fish out of mike long's underwater photography;)

Excellent pictures! Thank you for sharing
BassinLou reply :
Nice pics gentlemen. It's a fishing goal of mine to submit a DD, pic on a thread like this. Dead River are those the only DD you have caught? If not, how many have you landed?
Dead River reply :
I have only landed 8 double digit bass. I have lost two fish for sure that were double digits and another that is questionable. I know a fellow here in Georgia that has caught over 200 double digit fish - he's an amazing fisherman, not some hyperbolized thing you read about in a magazine but the real thing. My accomplishments pale in comparison to someone like that but it doesn't mean that I'm not proud of my eight big fish.
Jeff and Dwight, those Mexican bass are awesome. If and when I have the coin I would love to fish down there. Thanks for sharing your fish of a lifetime. Keep the photos coming guys.
N.B. the additional photo postings are alternate views of the 8 fish in the original post. I had intended to give several pictures of each fish in one post.
keep the pigbeasts coming guys! I'm waiting on the California guys to get in on the act, w/ no bbcode on this forum that could be kinda time consuming for some of those trophy hunters

MANNNNNN those are some nice fish!! I have had my opportunities but just can't get my photo OP with em yet lol

I'm still amazed by these fish man thanks for sharing!!! I have texted a bunch of my fishing buddies this link so they can be in awe as well, hey mods hope we get a few more members 
Do you remember what you caught some of these on? I'm just curious
Mainebass1984 reply :
Those are some amazing fish. It makes us northern fisherman crazy just thinking about a 10 lb plus bass. I have never seen one in person or know anyone who has caught a 10lber up here in New England. An 8 lb northern largemouth is incredibly rare. That being said I am going for a 10 lber up here in New England. Some awesome pics guys. Really nice fish.

C'mon Jeff...It was raining She hit a Gambler Big EZ on Lake Okeechobee in a field of kissimmee grass. Weighed a hair under 10-3/4. I had clients on board and the older gentlemen quit fishing. When I asked why he wasn't fishing...he told me was not going to make another cast unless I would pick up my rod and fish with him and his son. As soon as she hit...the young fella said there is your 10 pounder. It was a terrifying blast in the grass

I didn't even see your pants were wet. I just meant in excitement! Great story! I too prefer the guides to fish with me as well. And have had them catch fish bigger than my PB. Just lets me know they are down there!!!!!

Bluebasser86 reply :
I once caught a new world record on a 1/16oz pink crappie jig at a private lake in Texas on a 5' crappie rod and 4lb test. I think I had a crappie hooked and she ate it on the way up. Anyways, couldn't get ahold of any certified scales or a Game Warden to weigh it so we just went ahead and filleted it and ate it over the campfire, sure tasted great! I have a picture somewhere but it might have been on that camera that Bigfoot ran away with after we stole his beef jerky from him on a camping trip in Ozarks.... 
My one and only DD fish was at Lake Commendero, Mexico. She should have been 13-14 pounds if she hadn't been on such a strict diet!

great fish, looks like you've enhanced your photo some as well, drop shadow or something. 10 pounders aren't as common on the big o as they used to be huh? Even if you're shiner fishing? I had a friend go out with Tom Mann and he caught a 9 lber on shiner which is pretty cool. I've always wanted to fish the big o.
are there any huge bass in the glades? I've been told by biologists that southern florida isn't as good for giant bass as northern and central...
Captain Shane Procell reply :
Yes it was taken on a dark rainy day with my sorry cell phone with low mega pixels. We could not get it to flash. So I had to really enhance and put some color in it. That night I went and bought a Canon Rebel Ti5.....that will never be an issure again when a trophy hits the deck. The biologist told you the truth..The souther parts of Florida are do not give up big bass like central Florida. Lake O has plenty of big fish.....but it 750 square miles.
Here is the origional....I was so dissapointed with the shot.

Those skin mounts or replicas?
When I get mine I am going for the replica. I always said I wanted a skin but I don't think I would be able to bring myself to let a fish that big/old die. Also I found this guy from Mississippi that does AMAZING replicas. Saw him on YouTube and I swear they were skin, I wasn't the only one who shared that view in the comments, the scale detail was amazing! I've seen some replicas done that look like a cartoon fish I want to get my money's worth... First I got to land her though!!!
I plan on having a wall like that

Any idea on the girth? 30" is a ridiculously long bass. By the fishing calculator on the site, if your fish was 30" and had a very modest girth at 18" it would still weigh 15.88 pounds. George Perry's world record was only 2.5" longer and measured 28.5" around. Kurita's fish was just over 27 inches long and almost 27" around. Point being, when you get a fish that long you can get a big difference depending on the girth. Even if it was anorexic and only 12" around it would be near 10 pounds, although I doubt a bass could be that skinny and still be alive.

Yes in reply to dead river, in reply to bluebasser86, I believe the girth was 17". Thanks, Will W.

Fish calculator puts it at 15 pounds even then.
wwarren8200 reply :
Wow! Bigger than expected! Thanks for the help, Will W.
Mainebass1984 reply :
There are several different calculations you can find to calculate a fishes weight. I have found the most accurate formula to be ((length x length) x girth) /1200. On the water I weigh the fish with my digital scale and takes it length and girth. When I get back home from the days fishing I use the formula to see how accurate it is compared to my digital scale. The formula I mentioned above is very accurate compared to what the fish would weigh on the digital scale. It usually within 2 ounces. Next time out on the water check it out and see what your scale says compared to what the formula comes out to.
Using the above mentioned formula:
((30 x 30) x 17) / 1200 = 12.75 lbs

On your next birthday ask for the ACCU-CULL Digital Scale.
Here's the link.
http://www.*.com/Accu-Cull-Digital-Scale-p/accucull-digital-scale.htm
It comes with a tape measure.
Perhaps you could have someone show you how to use it, correctly.

Dead River reply :
that fish doesn't look anywhere close to 30" long, I'd have to see some better photos... just my opinion. that photo needs to go on that lunker club thread to be debunked

Only pic I have. Sorry, Will W.
Dwight Hottle reply :
Did you weigh it or measure it Will?
Dead River reply :
Post it in the body of a message. How did you measure it? Post hoc?
wwarren8200 reply :
I measured it with a regular old tape measure 30" long 16.75" girth. Thanks, Will W.
Dead River reply :
that's a nice fish but it looks 25" or so to me, your hand sort of takes away from it for me. here's my 26" tail open

those are great fish! thanks for sharing. Big O knows how to catch the big ones. I'd love to fish with that guy. I haven't ruled out moving to Texas at some point actually.

yeah there's no way. and I don't mean to be ugly by saying that. it just is what it is...
Dead River reply :
sometime back in a discussion with the biologist that had been over the pfa where I caught five of my double digits, I was informed that almost positively all of the giant fish I caught from the pfa would've had to have been f1 hybrids due to the fact that the fx intergrades (native Ga bass aka Montgomery strain) were not old enough to have matured to such size. The farmpond giants toward the end of the photos are fx intergrades, those fish are offspring of a stocking from the 1950s... so some of my captioning describing the crankbait fish from the pfa were wrong.
If it hadn't have gone dry Ocmulgee pfa would've become the equivalent of Castaic lagoon east coast style
