Darren. reply :
Welcome aboard!
Nice beast, and yeah, I'd probably go in after what
I think would be my next PB....
fishingIsAddicting reply :
I thought she was bigger but I'll take it. Wasn't going to let her die there all wrapped up like she was. People were watching me swim in like I was crazy.
Jtrout reply :
Nice! what she weigh?
KDW96 reply :
Ive done it for any fish. Rather get wet than let it die and adds adventure to the day 
A5BLASTER reply :
Long as the water ain't to cold I'm in for any bass no matter what size it would be.
Smokinal reply :
Never swam for a fish. I did have to swim for my boat once; and that's all I have to say about that...
RoLo reply :
Welcome aboard, and congratulations on retrieving that lunker!
Yeah, I've been known to enter the drink to grapple with a hog,
but I usually come back empty

I was a member here for like 3 years I just haven't been on in a year and it deleted my posts but saved my account and password weird...haha I swam in for one before and it got off by the time I got there. Glad I landed this one, it's so devastating losing a good bass.
Bankbeater reply :
Nice bass! I have gone in after a rod, but never a fish.
UPSmallie reply :
Heck yeah! Nice fish

Did that last Tuesday, in 52 degree water. It floated away in the 10-15 mile an hour wind while I was unsnagging on a boat lift, so I had to swim for it with a net in one hand. Not fun.
To the op, I have also had to swim for fish that get me tangled up. One was just over four pounds and got me tangled around the central dock post underneath a dock, so I jumped in after it and managed to grab the fish.

N Florida Mike reply :
I swam for a fish once when I was 15. Was bream/ catfishing with a dough ball on the bottom when I saw the line moving out. Started pulling it in I saw it was a nice bass .It got hung up in a dead tree by the bank and without hesitation I took the plunge.It wasnt a big deal since I wade fished as much as I bank fished back then !My pb at the time! 4 pounds. Dont think Ive ever swum for one since !

You caught a 4 pound bass on a dough ball? Nice
N Florida Mike reply :
Yeah.One of 3 in my life .
The wierdest thing is that my oldest son caught his first bass on a bread ball.
Ive actually caught bass on cut dead shiners while catfishing.
