State VS State - Season 2 2025

FishinDaddy reply :

Last year I started a contest for the largest bass relative to your state record and it's that time of year again. Most people are starting to thaw out so if you guys are ready then let's get signed up.

If you want to play, then all you have to do is declare your intention to get whipped by us Florida guys this year. :

This contest will run from daylight on April 15th through dark on May 30th. Anyone who has posted to this thread by midnight on April 14th is eligible to play.

Prizes to be determined at a later date.

Bassn Blvd reply :

I'm in again. I'll take the LM of course.

Can you post how to figure the percentages please?

wisturkeyhunter reply :

Season in most Wisconsin waters starts first saturday of May. Hard to win a contest when you have less time to do it in.

FishinDaddy reply :

RULES

1. This is for FUN...

2. Any Black Bass with a state record is eligible. You must have submitted your entry prior to midnight Apr 14, 2009.

3. This contest runs from daybreak on April 15th, 2009 to sunset on May 30, 2009.

4. Artificial bait ONLY. If you are sight fishing, the fish must be hooked inside the mouth. All fish must be caught in PUBLIC fishing areas. No private stocked ponds.

5. Scoring of the fish shall be completed as follows:

Example

FW = fish weight = 10.5 lbs (my pb)

SR = state record Fl = 17.27 lbs

FW / SR x 100 = your score

10.5/17.27x100 = 60.80 rounded to 2 decimals

In order for your fish to count, you must submit a picture, the state record weight for the state the fish was caught in, and an accurate weight of the fish. Your fish must be submitted within one week of being caught. (No sandbagging) You may submit as many fish as you want as long as subsequently caught fish are larger. All fish must be submitted before 7 am on May 31, 2009.

6. You can be disqualified for unsportsmanlike behavior. The definition of "unsportsmanlike" is completely at the discretion of myself and the moderators.

7. Entry Fee - You must post your intention to play on this thread prior to Apr 14th.

Directors Note-----Have fun, catch fish, and post your results......

Blake R. reply :

Catt reply :

Painter Dude reply :

Put me in coach, I'm ready to play!

Here's the target!

A new Kansas state record largemouth bass was caught in a private strip pit in Cherokee County on May 3 2008 and has been certified by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP). Fourteen-year-old Tyson Hallam, of Scammon, took the trophy fish during the West Mineral Eagles Fishing Tournament using a jig and pig. The monster largemouth weighed 11-pounds, 12.8-ounces, edging the 31-year-old state record of 11 pounds, 12 ounces caught in 1977 by Kenneth Bingham of Topeka.

You can submit for any state you fish in, but you can only have 1 score for placement. (you can't have a first place score for florida and a second place score for GA. Only your highest score will be counted)

Well, if I started any earlier then those northern guys would be complaining about frozen water and out of season and other cry baby stuff like that. :'(

I'm in, but it's going to be tough to get close to that pig that was caught a (very) few miles from my house. At least the kid has a great t-shirt on.

You put us southern boys in the middle of post spawn which is the hardest time of the year to catch big bass.

That's alright I got big shoulders I can handle it.

You are competing against your own state records, smallies and largies should have separate records:

I'm talking about the Kansas state record. Here is a link to the application. It seems like a tall order to keep a fish alive for that length of time for all the proper certifications to happen: http://www.kdwp.state.ks.us/news/content/download/16395/110860/file/Official%20KS%20Fish%20Record%20App.pdf

Add to that, the kid is holding the fish up in his front yard, and I think I can infer the rest of the story. Not for nothing, if I caught a state record, its probably going in the cooler.

bigbill reply :

Ok i'll play too we do have big bass in CT i've proved it already. I've seen even bigger bass than my 10lber that i caught too seeing this in this northern state has me thinking every state has to have bigger bass too. There not being caught because there smart, thats how they got to be that big in the first place. I'm fishing from shore too were i can be very stealthy thats the key to hooking one of the larger pigs. Just hit the shore at 4am. when these bigger bass are ambushing the baitfish in the shallows.

If the smaller places that i fish have big bass than the larger places that i fish have to have big bass too. Which also makes me think its not the 3, 4, 5, or 6lbers making all these baby bass too keeping these places stocked with bass its the big porkers doing it. Just make sure you return them to continue the bass population.

So lets post all our bigger fish(the best ones)????

I been hunting for a new state record anyway. I just took off a few years and now i'm chomping on the bit to get back at it. I fish everyday till i get burned out. I know a new state record is out there i've seen them already. Then move in and out like ghosts they just appear in the water. Make sure you wear polarized glasses all the time and look in the water constantly when reeling in a fish. They follow the smaller fish sometimes. They also eat bluegills and sunfish, they want a meal not a snack. (hint)
