Your Biggest Skinniest Bass? 2024
*Hank reply :
Any pics of your biggest skinniest bass and what did you catch it on?
WolfyBrandon reply :
My "Biggest Skinniest" was caught on May 14, 2010, and the lure is in the first picture (Blue Fox). This was long before I started to kept track of my fishing information (unknown weight/length etc), but looking at the date my guess would be it was skinny because it probably just finished spawning.

Caught this poor old girl in August of 2013 in a little creek off of the Tidal Potomac River. She coughed up a couple of crayfish when I landed her and I felt kinda bad about putting her through the stress of a catch and release. Her belly could not have been more emaciated and I always wondered later if that was her last summer.
She hit a 10" ribbontail plastic worm and had no fight in her at all.

My brother and I fished 3 days in Myrtle Beach last spring and caught this 22" SKINNY bass once each day, one of those days the fish shook the hook after a short fight and was caught an hour later. She wasn't on a bed. I thought they didn't get big by being stupid, but this one did.

Here's mine, caught on a zoom horny toad.

Gold right? Haha. That was actually a hand tied jig on a Siebert Big-O head!

I love it when the pros catch a bass and are like "this one has a 6-pounder head and a 3-pounder body" I bet a lot of tourneys could have been won with much heavier bags if those bass hadn't gone on a diet.

It is a little hard to see, but you can see the stomach tightened up.. she measured 22.5" and weighed 3lb 4 oz. Poor fish :/
Goose52 reply :
I have LOTS of photos of emaciated fish as they are pretty common in my water, some of which look even skinnier than this fish....but this is one of the longest.
I was fishing a 5" grub and was at the end of the retrieve right next to the boat when I saw this mouth open up, grab the grub, and dive for deep water. HOOK-SET. Zrrrrr, zrrrrr, zrrrrr goes the drag on the spinning reel. I'm pretty pumped as I thought I had just hooked a 7 1/2 pounder that I had caught twice before in that lake. The MOUTH certainly looked familiar... 
Got the fish back to the boat, in the net, and in the boat. I can tell it's a long fish but sorta felt a bit disappointed when I got it on the bump board. 24 inches (the same length as the 7 1/2 pounder I had caught)...but only 4.58 pounds. Normally, I'm jazzed any time I catch a 4-pounder...but this poor thing was just a mess - the photo tells the tale...

i once caught a paper thin bass on a white spinnerbait with a mouth i could stick both my fists in several years ago. when i first glimpsed this fish in the water before i got a good look at her, i almost lost it. i was just sure i was about to top the state record. but i realized pretty quickly something was wrong. she gave up too easily, came in too quickly. when i got a good look at her, i couldn't believe the fish was even still alive or had the strength to bite at all. literally that fish could not have looked any worse. 9 lbs. 15 oz. only lacked a hair being 29" long. i have a regular pic around here somewhere, but nothing i can download. probably about as disappointed as i have ever been to catch a huge bass, if that even makes any sense.

25+ inch that weighed just under 6 pounds. Caught it on a 4" Powerbait worm fished wacky.

My PB, she could have been 13-15 pounds if she wasn't so freaking skinny!
fishinphilly reply :
i caught one before on a booyah pad crasher that measured 22inches and weighed 3 1/2 pounds it didn't look that healthy and its bottom jaw was split into 2 but at least she was trying to eat!
mullins reply :
Couldn't tell you the weight, but it was the longest bass last year.
mullins reply :
Darn it

Yep, didn't fight very well either, probably 10 seconds from hookset to the net. I doubt that fish lived much longer.
Trenton reply :
Not mine but this fish was just a hair under 26" last summer and my buddy I fish all my tournaments with called me and told me to bring the scale down to our famous sportmans club lake. If I remember right it was like 5lbs 6oz or something like that. I mean she was healthy but soooo far from full potential
Bankbeater reply :
Caught one about 7 or 8 years ago. I don't have a pic handy, but it went 4-11. The middle of the bass was about 2/3 the size of its head. Found out later that the pond had a fish kill and a lot of the baitfish had died off.
