Florida strain LMB; 5 over 17 lbs; 17.4, 17.4, 17.6, 18.8 & 19.3.
BP northern strain LMB is 12.4 lbs.
Stopped counting 10 lb+ bass back in 1971 with 100 recorded and can only guess at somewhere around 300 today.

Ky_Lake_Dude reply :
Although my PB is 6 1/2lbs I believe I had a fish on once that might have gone 10lbs. Heres the story. My dad and i were fishing in Beech River on the TN River at Perryville (technically KY Lake) and we were fishing down a bank with lots of stumps and laydowns. The bank has always produced some good fish I believe because there always seems to be baitfish on it and is the closest good cover to the 20ft channel that runs through Beech River. We were fishing spinnerbaits and were catching several small ones all through the day. I through my bait deep into the biggest laydown on the bank and started slowly cranking it back out and all of a sudden something annihalates (spelling?) my bait. I set the hook and I see the biggest head of a bass I've ever seen comes out of the water. I start playing it and my dad gets the net then I got a good look at it. And SNAP! my line breaks. I just wanted to fall in a hole and die lol That was by far the biggest bass I've ever had on the end of my line. I'll get another shot though

I've caught quite a few Bass over the 10 lb mark. My biggest being a 13.1 lb Bass back in 1999 and then I caught a 10.6 and a 12.11 lb Bass last April, about 2 weeks apart, out of the same lake. My 13.1 is in my avatar. I've probably caught at least 10 Bass over 10 lbs and a ton of 6-9 lb Bass!QuoteJust curious who has actually caught a 10 pound plus bass?My personal best: 12 pounds 8 ounces

Fish Chris reply :
My stupid Internet has been down for a few days :-(
Anyway, I had fished from the time I was 3, until I was 33 > without catching 1 single double digit bass.... even though I live right here where 10 lb'ers are seemingly just jumping into peoples boats.
Then, 10 years ago, I "got lucky" and stuck my first DD, an 11-11 from my home Lk. Berryessa, on a nightcrawler.
After that, I got all stoked on catching more, and maybe even bigger :-) I started studying whatever guys I could find, who were consistently catching bass. And the key was, I simply started fishing "specifically for BIG bass"... Small ones just didn't count anymore. I had caught enough of the those in my first 30 years, to last a lifetime.
Anyway, here we are 10 years later, and after starting my own website geared specifically towards big DD Largemouths, and meeting LOTS of great big bass sticks because of it, I've learned volumes.
Oh, so anyway, after never having caught a bass over 10 lbs, in my first 30 years, I just caught my 84th over 10 lbs yesterday :-) Whoooo Hoooo.......
All of which goes to show, what you have done up until now (if your not yet completely satified) means absolutely nothing ! YOU CAN open up a whole new book, and surprise everybody, not the least of whom, yourself !!! I'm living proof :-)
Peace,
Fish

I would say here 6 pound smallies are normal big fish on lake Erie MY pb is 6-3 with problably 100 or more in that same class 6-0 6-1. As the year classes move up so do the weights. I would think I will have a 7+ soon. 7s have been caught all over the lake. My pb largemouth is 5-15 but last spring on one day I caught 3 largemouth that were approaching 7 have pics on my old phone that I keep to someday download them to the pc. We had no scale with us that day so I cannot put an actual weight to claim on them. 5 pounders aren't so bad!! Randy Van Dam holds the ohio smallie record at 9-5 caught in the western basin!
thetr20one reply :
WOW HAWG CALLER YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR OWN SHOW!!!!!
Possum reply :
I am new to the site. Just joined yesterday. Figured I would share my 10+ bass from this year so far...
my first fish is 15.5 lb caught March 16th on an 8" Electric Blue w/ White tail texas rigged worm, my second fish is 10.6 caught March 28th on an 8" Pumpkinseed texas rigged worm.
<===== 15.5
Both fish were released to ensure their genes were passed on

QuoteGuess this question is limited to the lower half?Whos caught a 6 lber from the North? :'(
I caught a 6.5 last Summer. I have 2 friends that I fish with all the time (we share a 3-person electirc boat) and between us we have 2 6+ LMB's and a bunch of 5 #ers since we started to get serious in '04. Not much comparred to you who live in warmer climates but up here a 10+ would make you a near-legend.

thetr20one reply :
Here is my what I believe to be my pb largemouth no scale that day so no proof of actual weight. Previous pb largemouth was 5-15 but this girl was much thicker and a maybe an inch longer. Not even close to ten but good for this area!http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg267/theredone_2008/piggy.jpg
Brian_Reeves reply :
I've caught a few bass that were huge. THat was back when I was 15 and didn't have scales, digital cameras, or a way to get the fish to the game warden. I'm sure that at one of them broke the 10lb mark, but I'll never know for sure
I've caught a 9.97lb bass out of stillhouse. That would have been my first recorded 10lb bass if it would have eaten breakfast. Oh well...I've caught tons of 15lb+ redfish ;D
RoLo reply :

Brian, I can't begin to tell you how common that is.
This might be a good time to pass along a little statistical info regarding "trophy" weight.
Like all animals, the weight of big bass tends to hit sticking points along the way, known as "weight-plateaus".
These glass ceilings can be quickly disclosed by investigating the many beer and magazine sponsored citation programs,
as well as professional and local tournaments, etc. Analyze the weights of all the listed entries
and you'll promptly see that 10 lbs may be less like a weight plateau and more like pie-in-the-sky.
In the world of humans, "10" is a nice round number, but bass attain "trophy-class" when they reach 9 lbs, a powerful glass ceiling.
Once you've boated a 9-lb trophy bass, your next logical target would be 12 pounds, or "record-class" (the next ceiling).
Weights between 9 and 12 are essentially random, like the proverbial monkey and a dartboard.
In any case, do yourself a big favor and get that replica mount you always wanted as soon as you boat a 9-lb bass.
Waiting for a 10 lber could mean boating three 9-lb bass and still looking at the same empty space on the den wall :-/
Roger
Brian_Reeves reply :
Yeah I've boated about 10 or so 9lb bass. I'll probably take you up on your advice. I'd be willing to bet that as soon as I stop caring so much about a weighed 10lb bass, I'll probably catch one lol
gobig reply :
I am a new member to the forums. I have been reading articals here for a few months now. I have enjoyed reading some of the posts also. You guys have some good info and stories. I have caught 3 over 10lbs. I caught a 12 even, 11.3 (yesterday!!!) and a 10.9
