Different slang names for big bass :-) 2024

Fish Chris reply :

When you stick a big one, and your talking to your buddies about it, what do you call it ?

I guess I most often refer to a big one, as a pig. But sometimes a monster, a fatty, or a hawg.

Of course their is the sow, the lunker, the toad......

Help me out here. I'm sure their must be a hundred more :-)

Raul reply :

Big momma.

Tokyo Tony reply :

Football is a good one

When I catch a big one and am telling someone about it, I usually just refer to it as a "huge fish".

Still waiting for the day when I can (truthfully) talk about the "RIDICULOUSLY GIGANTIC FISH" I caught, while referring to a bass

Under the Radar reply :

But the picture weighed 3 1/2 lbs.

Tokyo Tony reply :

If we're talking about the fish in your avatar, I'd probably refer to it as a "freak of nature" ;D

Or a "freakishly gargantuan fish"

RobbyZ5001 reply :

f****** huge one. bucketmouth. monster

Tin reply :

I dont usually spazz until the fish is in the boat and in the livewell. Then I start freaking out, , or singing its PB&J Time. I dont really have a name for a big fish. Matty 5.0 has THE BEST "freak out" when he hooks into a fish.

fourbizz reply :

pig, toad, donkey, gorilla, fatty, giant, i like the term basketball instead of football for those obese prespawn fish.

but my favorite, which i have only deemed necessary to use on a fish that I did not land: Leviathan

Basszilla

Prego Mommo

Both halves of the picture Avid took ;D

My Personal Favorite: THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

Catt reply :

Down south they are called Hawgs because a Hog is bigger than a Pig

Siebert Outdoors reply :

ginormous bass

or sometimes a dink. LOL

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

Chunker, Klunker, Kegger

roadwarrior reply :

A nice fish can be a pig, but a great fish is a Hawg!

Generally, I like to refer to them as "Fat Girls" 8-)

Shad_Master reply :

There have been a few times, after battling for what seems like a really long time - that I end up calling it catfish >

Avalonjohn44 reply :

Big Girl, Lunker, Fattie, Big B**ch, Fat Bass

farmpond1 reply :

"Still in the Lake" cause I've never caught it.

HesterIsGod reply :

I call em what shaw grigsby calls em

YOU LITTLE BUTTERBALL PIG YOU

Bass_Akwards reply :

Come on guys, you can do better than this. I've been fishing less than a year and I call 'em

STUDS --- AS IN "Holy crap!" "This one feels like a STUD"

BUTTERBALLS --- As in when you are fishing near thanksgiving and pull a 13 pounder on the boat and say, "Look at the freaking BUTTERBALL!!"

BRUISERS--- As in when you have a 9 minute fight with a 16 pounder, and after landing her you feel your arms aching and say, "d**n, this ***** is a bruiser"

MOBEY DICKS-- As in when you hook a 14 pounder on 6 pound test, and she goes under your bass boat and tries to tip the boat over. She's a "Mobey Dick"

CHUNK BOXES--- When you land a 17 pounder and she has a freshly swallowed 7 pound ducking in her belly, she's a "Chunk Box"

BEEFERS - Same as a "Chunck Box" except she is full of eggs and a freshly swallowed 5 pound trout.

BULLS --- 10+ pounder that jumps and bucks and gets at least 2 feet out of the water 9 times on the way to the boat.

JELLY BELLYS - Completely self explanitory

BLUBBER BUTTS - Again, self explanitory

BIG SHOTS--- A 25+ pounder who roams and patrols a large lake, or body of water, swimming like she owns it. She scares all the other bass and fish in the area, and is smarter than many accountants. When you catch a "Big Shot" you know it. They will never stop pulling, and can swallow a small goat. A "big shot" takes you deep into heavy cover if you ever catch one and has the strength to pull a 100 pound water skiier over a mile. (I've only caught 5 of these in my life)

Actually, "bathtub bass" is what I used to call them.

Sam reply :

Man, I'm glad you said "big bass."

I was thinking of something else that has slang names!

roadwarrior reply :

I like the way Fish Chris refers to his biggin's as DDs.

That puts a smile on my face.

I guesss it reminds me of "other things" I like.

Redlinerobert reply :

Ike ruined "it's a giant" the term I used for DD bass over 15 lbs, Ike calls anything over 15" a giant.

soflabasser reply :

When a largemouth bass is over 24 inches it is as long as a legal black grouper so I sometimes give these big bass the nickname of green grouper.

There's a bunch of salmon and steelhead anglers up here that refer to bass fishing as "fishing for green trout." I always chuckle when I see your screen name. That group is a little nuts.
