Biggest fish of '07 so far... 2024

OBX-BASS reply :

i know its kind of early to be askin' since we are only just over a month into 2007. but whats yalls biggest bass of '07 so far? also what kind of lures and presentations have you guys been using? i have caught just a couple little guys back in January. It has gotten really cold here in VA lately so i havnt been able to go out since all the lakes and ponds i fish at are frozen over. haha but i caught all of mine on jigs in deep cover and also bringing a spinner bait really slow about a foot off the bottom through some deep water....seemed to work for me...what about you guys??

basspro48 reply :

I managed a few keeper size largemouth on the Pamunkey River using a Rootbeer Bandit 200 series crank and a black/blue jig in about 11' of water. My dad did haul in a nice 6lb striper from the Pamunkey on a ZOOM trick worm in Okeechobee Craw on a 1/4oz jighead in 5' of water. But I haven't made a cast since the beginning of January.

I can't wait til spring cuz me and OBX are gonna be tearin up the brown bass on the Rivanna

tube reply :

I would say close guess would be 3.5 lb. caught towards the middle of january (largemouth)

forgot caught a 24" whiper also waiting on pic from my friend since my camera was to cold to work ;D

craigaria reply :

I've had 5 or 6 fish over 7 lbs, but I have yet to break the 8 lb mark yet this year

OBX-BASS reply :

you got that right basspro!!!!! we are gonna have to wait a long while though...the rivanna has had chunks of ice floating in it so id say we wont be breaking the kayaks out for 2 months or so :-[ and we gotta work around baseball season!!! gotta remember that one!! but they are there waitin' fer us...i know where the honey holes are and i think you do also if you remember what you caught on our last trip down that river!!!!

flukester reply :

5.6 lber, in the power plant lake where I live, fishing has been great there, they'll be on the pre-spawn in a few weeks here! heard there were some bigger ones caught earlier!

guest reply :

I have one just under six pounds that I caught just a few days ago. My boga grip scale doesnt' give exact ounces but that's ok, because it is deadly accurate.

I posted the pic.

Another one of "Avids famous fish heads in the shadows."

I do have a reputation to maintain you know

justfishin reply :

I just cannot get to those bass. I went the other day and tossed a tube and it just slid across the ice. I threw a spinnerbait and it just slide across the ice as well. I need to learn more about this winter fishin. What am I doing wrong?

Those things happened to me too!!!!

I pitched a jig to a stump sticking through the ice, all I could get was a thump from under the ice ;D Bet that fish had a headache.

BucketmouthAngler13 reply :

I attepted to fish yesterday, and I had to run the line between my fingers on the retrieve to get the ice off. Only stayed for 15 minutes (10 of those minutes was trying to free a snag) and hurried home for some coffee.

I havn't had a hook up since november.

6.2 on a horny toad. a bunch of 3-5 pound fish. when the water drops out of the flats and it becomes a canal thing-----lookout! hey gatrboy, could you have at least smiled? did you not read the other guys that have yet to even see the water. i know it was a small fish, but smile you live in the greatest state of them all. must be a UF thing. LOL

gatrboy53 reply :

i guess i was disappointed it was a 5 lber. :)and as far as a gator thing we gators have plenty to smile about. :) :) :) :) its the other state schools that dont have ANYTHING to smile about ,just complain about.

Troutfisher reply :

Oh, I hit the lake for about 15 minutes yesterday and caught this little thing. Threw him back, nothing there to even fool with.

Seriously though, I've only caught two bass this year, my biggest being about 13 inches.

craigaria reply :

Sorry, had to do it

ww2farmer reply :

Have not caught a bass yet in 07.........last bass was the day after XMas, a small little 13"er, did go ice fishing with the neighbors today and caught some perch, biggest was about 12"

silvercliff_46 reply :

Caught 2 through the ice while fishing for crappies, about the size of ww2farmer's perch. fishing around here is almost 50/50, half ice fishing, half open water.
