Mine was just shy of 6 lbs. Caught it on private property here in Missouri when I was a kid, on a small soft plastic shaped like a shad in green I believe.

LMB - 7.5 Spawner pulled out of thick salad; wacky rigged on 10lb braid + 10 lb leader on a size 1 Gammy Wide Gap Finesse hook.
MCS reply :
LMB - 6-7 pounds on a 4" senko after a miss on a pop-r, and another that was 6 pound 8 oz on a 3/16 oz t-rigged KVD perfect finesse worm in mutilator. The first fish had no scale so it is a geusstimate based on length and girth #'s
BassinLou reply :
Mine was 7lb 4oz caught a very long time ago, I didn't know of BR back then to log my catch, so I don't remember what I caught it on. All I can tell you is that, that day was awesome!!

7 lb lmb caught on the outside edge of a flooded creek bed in around 10 feet of water near flooded timber using a white glass (shad) rap. Not that I remember any of it.

BassAssassin726 reply :
I caught my PB on Sunday. I've been stalking the quarry lakes all summer hunting for that 5+ pounder. I came so close on so many occasions. Caught a 4.12 two weeks ago. But Sunday while dragging a Senko on a split shot rig. BOOM! As soon as I hooked her I knew it was it. Drag flying off, tugging like crazy. Fought her for a good 5 minutes. Got her in, got my hand around her lip and freaked out. Threw it up in my grand fathers face screaming, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT FISH!!!! While it's nowhere near some of the weights being listed, It made me explode with joy after searching all summer for her.

Kudos to you; a double-digit bass from New Jersey is incredible 
The Jersey record currently stands at 10 lb 15 oz, but when I lived in New Jersey
the state record stood for many years at 8 pounds & change (Lake Hopatcong I believe)
I still remember when Jersey certified its first double-digit bass, it came from Mount Kemble Lake.

massrob reply :
Mine had to be at least 6 lbs but didn't have a scale. The biggest I actually weighed was 5.3 and the other one was definitely bigger than that. I caught it on a 4 in senko.
Shanes7614 reply :
Rolo. I caught that one out of Split Rock Resevoir before it was opened to the public. I grew up 15 minutes from hopatcong. Was fun place to fish but very pressured as it's the largest lake in the good ol garden state. Lol. I preferred greenwood lake. Thought I actually caught my first Florida double digit this morning to be surprised by a 6lb peacock.

A bass from Maine that weighs this much, is like a teener FLMB. So awesome! That's the exact size of my PB down here in North Carolina

Either you have very small hands or that's a very large bass.
My bet is placed on outsized sow

In November of 2013 I got a new personal best a 9 lb 1 oz from Maine. I had a dorsal spine aged from it by the state bass biologist. It came in at atleast 18 years old with a high likely hood it could have been around 20 years old.
Joe H. reply :
6 lbs even. Didn't have my phone with me so no pics, unfortunately. 
Caught "ripping" a squarebill through grass, she absolutely slammed it. It was an amazing fight! Had to go swimming for her when she came to the shore and got buried in the weed line I was fishing. My 10 lb mono was shredded!
