Let's See Your PB's! 2025
fourbizz reply :
Alright guys, let's see PICTURES of everyone's PB. I don't want to hear "oh I caught a 17 on powerbait, but I don't have a picture". We wanna see some proof. It doesn't matter if it is a 3 from vermont, or a obese western toad, just throw them up! Maybe we can try and limit it to just the pics, not a bunch of back slapping replies. I think a solid thread of PBs would be sick!

Vorlin reply :
This reminds me that I need to get my boss to email me the pic from our company fishing trip where I caught my PB... it wasn't measured but everyone agreed that it was the 2nd largest fish of the trip. The largest was a 10lb striper that was around 24".
Several people mentioned that mine probably went 22"-23" and 9 to 9 1/2 lbs. There is a pic, and thanks for reminding me to get it!
It was caught on live spot in the Chesapeke Bay on a charter trip.
I'll post the pic as soon as I get it.

Troutfisher reply :

Lol....at least you'll be in the company of several BassResource.com members to watch you reel it in! 
Here's mine!
This one was caught back in '05. Don't know the weight...anyone wanna guess? I'm saying 3 or 3 and 1/2 lbs.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/Zeldadude70/bass.jpg
And here's a good one I recently caught. Weighed 2 and 1/2 lbs on the spring scale.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y196/Zeldadude70/100_4629-1.jpg
I have missed various others that would have been my PB, including one that I caught on video. That video has became pretty popular here on the forum... :

I still kind of wish I would have went back to my motel room and got the "real" digital camera (My dad's fault) and more and better pics. But I wanted to ensure she would swim another day. She was purty though and not a mark on her.

Bassassasin12 reply :
PB this year was 4.52 lbs. , a little low but It was a good year as far as numbers go. My real PB is 7.3 oz. caught a little over a year ago. The picture was taking with a non digital camera and I would have to scan it to put it up here, a little annoying to me. Well here is the pb from this year, a beautiful fish.
P.S. I think Cali and FB's fish could eat mine in one gulp. MY GOD!

Thanks guys. I am really happy with the picture, especially because I was solo. I guess taking solo pics of all the 2 and 3 pounders was for a reason. Practice! All I could think about the rest of that night was the picture. It turned out better than I could have asked for. Man...I can still remember reaching down to lip that beast. Total shock! The picture my buddy took of the 10.5 I caught 15 days later was a big disappointment though.
Same camera...
I took this pic...

jb_adams reply :
Here's my son holding one of my PB's.......don't laugh guys! I just started bass fishing this year. I've fished as a kid and a little in the last few years but this is the first year for me for serious bass fishing and not recreational trips.
It weighed 2.25 on my old spring scale but it's not very accurate. I think it weighed closer to 3lbs. It was my first keeper bass at 15in.
Here's another one that I snagged on a chartreuse buzzbait on Labor Day. It weighed about 2lbs I'd guess. It was around 14-15in.

Hi everybody,
Here is mine, caught August 28 2006 on a lipless crankbait. Not a giant at 5lb 10oz, but nevertheless a beauty, which was returned to grow more! Caught several more quite near that size, but still trying to break the 6lb barrier!

Raul reply :
QuoteWheres Fish Chris? LOL : :
We have two options to justify his lack of presence in the thread:
1.- He is fishing for them big momma kaliforny bass therefore he 's been busy and hasn 't jumped in.
2.- He has humbled us enough in the past and he 's giving us a break.
Daniel My Brother reply :
2 Amberjack using bonitas for bait (the bait was probably bigger than my PB bass). I caught one, my wife caught the other...btw that's the boat captain, not my wife...I can tell by the facial hair.
tallydude reply :
You guys saw this a week ago, but here she is again on this thread, too.
Fish Chris reply :
Well okay guys..... Although I am certainly proud of my PB(s), sometimes I start to get concerned, that some guys might be feeling like, "Ahhh geez (eyes rolling) here he comes again", and "Who cares".... and "If I lived, and fished in Cali....."
I guess I'm just constantly walking a fine line, while telling myself, "I'm not near so lame, as that small percentage of haters, would have you believe"...... But I'm not really so "great" either. I'm just a guy who loves to fish, and who has been very blessed to fish as much as I do, in the places I do.
So anyway, I have certainly been watching this thread, and their are a whole bunch of beautiful fish here ! Hats off to all of you guys !
Peace,
Fish

Don't worry FC, most of us know you are a class act. You don't have anything to prove to this group. Most of us are bass green with *** sometimes, but we appreciate your contribution to the board. I think everyone gets a kick out of the pics of them West coast beauties you post. JMHO

Don't let the haters get you worried dude. Everyone understands what size is considered big in what areas of the country. I know you realize how AWESOME some of these northern fish are that guys on here have caught. We are asking for everyones. Not "Everyone except Fish, because his are so big it makes us sad". Everytime I see one of your fish, especially your big 3, I get all excited! Nobody gets tired of seeing your pictures dude, thats what its all about!

First off, I just wanted to let you know that I look up to you more than any other member on here. Everytime I read your posts I'm itching to get out on the lake again. Most of the people who "roll there eyes" dont understand that you have worked your butt off to catch those fish. It's not usual for someone out of town to walk on there and wear the big ones out. If I went to your lake, and you gave me your boat, favorite rod and reel and bait, and sent me out for a month I could garuntee I wouldnt catch one of those big ones unless I got realllllly lucky. They also dont realize how many hours you put on the water no matter what mother nature throws at you. There all idiots who can bend over and take it up the rear. Dont listen to them. Keep posting those beauties.
Fish Chris reply :
I really appreciate the kind words guys.
So okay... okay. Mine is my 18.4 lb'er (18 lbs 6.4 oz). I was really just dumbfounded when I caught her. I mean, after all the research I had done in the years before that catch, I knew exactly how big of a deal that fish was. Their have been 3 "certified" bass up here in Nor Cal, which were slightly bigger. An 18lb 9oz from lake don Pedro (I don't believe the gentleman had ever caught a bass over 10 lbs before this catch). An 18.6 lb'er lb'er from the Ca Delta (this guy is quite an angler, and had caught a few over 10lbs previously). And an 18.7 lb'er from San Pablo Dam Res. (caught by a trout angler).
I guess one could say, I did it the hard way.... I just kept sticking DD after DD, until one of them ended up being a monster :-)
I was never that thrilled with the photos..... Wish I would have taken a few of myself, by myself..... But that would have seemed goofy, as I was pretty much instantly surrounded by people, all willing to take photos for me. So anyway....
Digital shot...
The old film camera....
......but I'm going to keep messing around until I get a "big one" !!! :-)
Peace,
Fish
senko_77 reply :
Geeeee thanks FC. Those pics make me absolutely unhappy with my PB. LOL. I am going to catch one over 16. Thats my goal. You'll see it soon as pretty much all my 8+'s have come at the end of fall through winter. I have been bass fishing for 3 years now. Every winter I get a new PB. Let's hope that 16 takes a tru-tungsten jig 
That will make them very, very happy!!
fourbizz reply :
Gaw! I love that fish! She is just gorgeous. She even swam away for another angler to catch!
tallydude reply :
FC, that is just a beautiful fish. I'm happy just looking at her.

8# Caught at Mountain Lake, Oklahoma 5-16-2003. Bait was 5/16 brown Eakins jig. Left Oklahoma behind for Michigan in March of this year. Have caught many good fish this summer but doubt if I'll ever see one like this this far north.

Its hard to see the girth but I would say its around 5 1/2 lbs...nice fish!!
fourbizz reply :
I agree that it looks much bigger to me than most people are saying. But it just isn't worth establishing a "PB" that you don't know the weight of. Weigh the next 5+ you catch and call that your PB. Great fish though dude!
mistahubbs reply :
Caught her in a small pond with a black and blue jig and a grub trailer. She was 6.4 lbs and put up a nice fight. Boy do I miss her!

http://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f114/rocknfish9001/?action=view¤t=scan0018.jpg&refPage=&imgAnch=imgAnch17
didnt weigh or measure this one. Im guessing it is bigger. Caught it days after ice out im straight brown water (super muddy) on a pumpkin colored 5 inch dinger. One of the first fish of the year.

hey rocknfish: i say the seccond one is around 6-7lbs, but it is hard too tell. It is denfanetly bigger than the seccond one.
jomatty reply :
i dont think my pb is the biggest bass ive caught. im pretty sure that what i previously considered my pb was well over 6 but it wasnt measured or weighed and i got tired of not really knowing and not being sure. so the next time i caught a big bass that was my pb. i think its nice to have a precise goal to shoot for.
NJfishinGuy reply :
hey speedbead my guess is that fish is between 6-8lbs thats a really big bass
basspro48 reply :
I don't have a pic but my biggest LM is 7lbs. 4oz. caught on a white 1/2oz. Lunker lure buzzbait in my homelake.
But here is my pb smallie, 3lbs. 7oz., caught this past august on a small matzuo jerkbait in the Rivanna River.
basser89 reply :
I set two PB's so far this year. The first was a 22", 5lb 12oz largemouth caught out of a small community pond.
And the second was a toothy critter. This one was 45 1/8" and weighed 25lbs I caught on the Potomac.
