Teal reply :
I figured Dwight or Big O would be closer in the mix.... and before this thread, i didnt know we had anybody with a 14 plus much less a 19. I expected to see some major weights over 12 out of FL
WRB reply :
Giant bass over 15 lbs are very rare and I have been blessed to fish where these special bass are located, during a time period when populations were at a peak period.
This thread should be all about showing PB bass and not a contest, just enjoying and sharing these special bass.

Xmas, 1975 Key West, Florida. Caught this Cobia on a bass spinning gear as that's all I owned at that time I didn't know I should have been using salt water gear. Have caught many bigger and harder to land over the years, but this one stayed in mind.

BennyB reply :
I actually caught my PB fish a couple weeks after I started fishing. No weight on her because needless to say I didn't have a scale, however, she was about 24" and I'm guessing between 7-8 pounds. June 29, 2013, 7:30pm. 80 deg F. Clear, sunny evening. Jointed rapala in a small local pond in 4 ft of water
