Share Your Pb Here!!! 2024
Looking for the big one reply :
Hey, you could call this a new bragging board, however you should also write how you caught the fish. the goal here is to learn some more on how to catch some big bass.
I'll start. My PB is 4 pounder, on the mark. I caught it dropshotting a zoom 6" lizard, spawn fishing a pond. This is my friend holding it.
Derekbass02 reply :
My PB was also 4 pounds and I caught it on a 5 inch green pumpkin BPS Stik-O. I caught it in a patch of lily pads in late spring to early summer.
Wayne P. reply :
Its been done several times, this is one of them:

BaitMonkey1984 reply :
Nice fish. My PB is 6.0 even at 19.75 inches. Short and fat fish. Your fish seems to be skinnier but longer. Did you happen to get a length measurement on that fish?
James W. reply :
My pb is 5.6 lbs caught on a 1/2 jig trailing a gamble June bug.

Nice fish! Both of yours look and sound much healthier than this one. I fished the same pond a few days ago and we caught her again, but the rest of the fish we caught were all ones, with maybe a two. I think I might need to be doing some pond management, fertilizer and stocking, what do you think?

You say your fish was caught during the spawn? Looking at it, and from your description, I'm going to guess you caught a female that had already dropped her eggs (hence the thin belly). The smaller 1 and 2 pound fish you were catching were most likely the more aggressive males that were guarding nest or fry. In my opinion, you have a pond with a variety of sizes of fish (not stunted), I would suggest leaving it as it is unless you're going to have a fisheries biologist come out and sample the fish and water for you and tell you exactly what you need to do. I've seen too many times a good pond was ruined and even killed off completely in an attempt to make it a great pond.

I hadn't thought about the spawn fishing part, I get what you're saying. I'll keep fishing, and if it keeps going on like this I might get a fisheries biologist to check it out like you said. Thanks!

Not my PB, I don´t have a pic of it, my 2nd PB.
bigbill reply :
My PB is 10lbs. It scared me in the twilight at 5am. Never seen a freshwater fish this big in the northeast. The fish in my pic is 6.1 lbs.
I believe every state has big bass. Soon after I posted mine on the ct sight many bass were caught between 9lbs to 11lbs in ct. It surely raised the bar. But soon after the ct sight became a pay for view. I didn't mean to hurt egos.

P.b. for the month of november 8.2# caught bumping a smashtech xxl swumbait rigged on a 8/0 owner beast. Casting from a few feet of water down to 25+ and dragging it back up paralleling a road through the middle of the lake.
BillinDurham reply :
A solid 8 pounder caught on my first cast with an unweighted Yamamoto Flapping Hog. It was a test cast to 'open' water to see if I could cast the thing without any weight but instead I put it right on top of a previously undiscovered submerged stump and this beast came out and ate it.
Caught him on a spinning rig setup for finesse fishing; 20lb braid with 10lb flouro leader. Glad I finally learned to tie a good albright between the two.
He was too big for my net which went overboard and sank. Sorry for the bad framing but it was a maximum effort selfie.
As you can imagine, I've been back to this stump...

10 lbs from the northeast... That's a lunker. Got a pic of it ?
bigbill reply :
Didn't have a camera. My fishing buddy seen it and my neighbor too. I get the catch anything as they walk up then there eyes popped out and there jaws dropped.

That's unfortunate you didn't have a camera. A 10 lber in New England is a once of a life time fish. Where you able to weigh it ? Get any measurements of it ?
steverowbotham reply :
I got this smallie close to 8 lbs a few weeks back on a 6" swimbait
Karsonclowers reply :
i caught my pb this past late summer. It was 6 1/2 lbs and 22" long. Had a huge mouth, i put my hand in it and had space around my hand. I caught it on 6 lb mono with a 5" zoom lizard with a tiny 2/0 thin wire hook. good fight!
bigbill reply :
Weighed it and released it. Since this I lost three bigger bass. One in late November. Never had a fish on like this on. Then she spit my hook. I reached a point my rod needs to be upgraded more power. I have a hvy lews spinning rod now.
More power on the hook set.
Like its been said here there's a difference between treble hooks and single hooks on hooksets. I learned the hard way.
Catching a DD bass when not ever thinking about it is a curse. Now your thinking that was easy and there will be more mind set. The reality is there is a few and far between. It's not a given.
I'm just a guy who loves bass fishing it's my passion.
Don't forget I was up at 3:30am fishing by 4am everyday for over 3 months. Every spring till I get burned out. Fish till around 9am.
corn-on-the-rob reply :
PB largemouth - just over 5lbs
Also just got my first and PB spot this past weekend but not even over 2 lbs.
PB smallie - 5.71lbs in my profile picture
My most proud is my girlfriend's first couple months bass fishing - 5.4lb smallie
*Hank reply :
6 lbs on a SK squarebill 
BooyahMan reply :
Biggest Largemouth for me was a ~21" chunk. I never got a true measurement besides comparing it to the handle on my rod but I caught a 20" and a 19.5" more recently and this one dwarfed both of those. I estimate my PB to be between 5-6lbs.
Caught while chugging a Booyah Pad Crasher Jr. along the surface (didn't know how to walk frogs properly at the time).
smr_hga reply :
My picture is on my phone but it was 24" caught on a tiny beetle bou marabou jig from the bank. Luckily i was with my friend that day and he had a scale. It was 7lbs 2oz.

Mine was app.8.5 pounds caught on a Mann's jelly worm when I was 19.This is a picture of the mount.
A-Jay reply :
Right off this one doesn't look very impressive but what one has to keep in mind is that I'm actually over 7 feet tall, weigh almost 500 lbs and have a Hindenburg size head . . . .
So there's that.

Here she is, got her on a 7" Alan Cole swimbait in April..... All I could say to my buddy was "She's BIG, get the net"! Now if I can figure out how to properly align the picture...

Nice fish!
Mosster47 reply :
We weighed her on two scales. The cheap one said 8-6, the more expensive one said 8-1. Caught her with that spinnerbait on the deck by my feet.
N Florida Mike reply :
Sounds like mine.I weighed mine with 3 scales.One said 8, one said 8 and a half, and one said 9.So I go with 8 and a half.The taxidermist said he thought 9.
WIGuide reply :
My personal best Largemouth came on the opening day of fishing season in 2007. She was 21 1/2 inches and went 6 1/2 lbs. I caught it on a white Terminator Super Stainless spinnerbait. It was one of their bleeding bait series ones with the red hook as well as a few red strands in the skirt. My day started off pretty well when I caught an 18" LMB in the first 20 minutes. I boated one other dink shortly after, and then that tank hit. I just remember how gigantic the mouth looked when she started jump boat side.
Opening day of 2008 I managed to catch my PB smallie that was 20 1/2" and tipped the scales at 5 lbs. We were fishing in my dads boat which we were quickly finding out that his tm batteries were totally shot and needed to be replaced. As we drifted across a shallow stumpy flat (because the tm was completely dead) I coaxed her from a big stump she was hiding by.
The last one is tied with my PB smallie. It came in at 20 1/2" and 5 lbs even. I think it probably edges out the other one just because it wasn't caught pre-spawn. I caught her on Sturgeon Bay this past fall on a drop shot. She was down in a small school on a channel buoy anchor. She put up one heck of a fight and was a beautiful fish. The picture doesn't do it justice.

My 2 pbs from this year. Top one 8.64lbs bottom 8.39 lbs both caught on deep cranks.
contium reply :
I've caught numerous bass from 24" to 27" long. Not a clue to what they have weighed. All my big fish have been caught at night wading or in a float tube. Minimal gear. No camera, phone, scales etc. Marked them off on the rod and measured it later. All released within a minute of landing. They were all quite a few years ago. I only fish from boats now and all the lakes around me are only open sunrise to sunset unfortunately. Fishing daytime only has definitely reduced the quantity and quality of fish I catch.

Come on now man....it is awesome that you were happy to catch it, but don't throw out the two scales story. If that bass is 8 pounds, then your spinnerbait is 6 pounds. Look at some of the pictures here of 6 pounders and compare.
Bluebasser86 reply :
My PB is 10lb 2oz from Mehico. My biggest from my home state of Kansas however, is 7lb 14oz.
I've caught 3 smallmouth that went 5lbs on the nose, this is the most recent one.
I came very close to making it a 4 way tie this past October.
Master Bait'r reply :
I don't have an actual recorded PB as I don't honestly care all that much and didn't have a scale for a very long time but this is probably the biggest I have a pic of. Tried to lay it next to my rod for comparison but couldn't get the camera far enough away for an accurate pic. Not bad for a Mass pond bass tho!

That picture was taken farther away from the fish than the pictures most people take. You don't know that his fish is not 8 lbs. What was your agenda in posting this?

Here's my PB. 10 lbs. 1 oz. Caught on December 20th, 2014 on Pickwick Lake.

Agenda? Didn't think there was any ambiguity to my comment. People are here to post their personal best. It is a fishing website, but no need to tell fish stories on a PB thread. You are free to disagree with me and that is fine. For the guys who enjoy chasing bigger fish where weight matters, then it seems silly to post inaccurate weights. For those who don't care about the weight of fish, then there is no worry of posting a fish weight that may be inaccurate. Both perspective are neither intrinsically better than the other. Maybe we could change the title to "What You Think You Want Your PB To Be."
Side note, not even a full arm extension and up-close picture will make that bass 8 pounds. And while I don't need your approval, i must say your fish looks every bit of 10 pounds. You could hold that thing behind your head and it would still look big.

What ever the fish weight was of the bass JG caught it was his personal best. If it was his PB then great, no need to take away from the big bass that JG caught.
