What time of day did you catch your PB? 2024
FryDog62 reply :
...Dovetailing off another thread - what time of day did you catch your personal best - or is there a general time frame you tend to catch the bigger ones?
A-Jay reply :
PB Brown bass (7-5) came right before sunrise.
PB Green Bass (11-11) came right before sunset.
Go figure.

The time was Noon, I saw a bass chasing bait against a limestone wall along an everglades canal. That fish was 11.4 and it was over twenty years ago. I used a weightless zoom fluke thrown into the mix, and the fight was on. It had been a reasonable slow day all morning, with bluebird sky, and no wind. You just never know when it will happen!????
J Francho reply :
Many of my top bass were caught between 10 and 2, including my NY PB 7-2.
Dens228 reply :

MN Fisher reply :
Early evening, around 5:30. Partly cloudy, was along the edge of a weed-bed in 6' of water...it probably darted out from the weeds to grab my lure. 4# 12oz

1:30 to be exact.
J Francho reply :
I'm not sure if the mid day concentration is because it's a big bass thing, or if it's just that by then, I have things figured out.
GReb reply :
My top 10 were all caught after 2 pm. Apparently I’m a terrible morning fisherman
Catt reply :
February 3rd 2007 right at daylight 12 lb 8 oz on a Rat-L-Trap
TnRiver46 reply :
I wish I could remember!!! Haha. I know I caught an 8 lb bass first thing in the morning once. But I have caught two more the same size and I don't remember a time on either. I caught what is probably my PB smallmouth about 930 am a month ago
BassHawg2293 reply :
My 2 best were both 8lbs. One I caught off bed in a pond, in March about 30 minutes before dark.
The other I caught about 30 minutes before dark in July off a brush pile on a lake near me. However I catch most of my bigger bass at night time between June and September. I love night fishing, a Texas rigged black worm and ANYONE can catch em at night
FryDog62 reply :
These are all interesting responses because I’m typically a very early riser to be on the water before other fisherman. But seems like just as many PB’s have come mid-day or other times.
Moral of of the story - I need to fish more 
Junger reply :
About 4PM on a hot day in June but in a creek mouth in the shade.
BCline reply :
One PM during my lunch break with two colleagues right next to me. 7-4 on my profile picture.
Choporoz reply :
Everything over 6 was between 11AM and 4PM....crazy. However, the one that got away was almost 11PM
the reel ess reply :
A little after 8 AM October 19th 2018. I dropped my daughter off at school about 7:45 and headed right over to the spot. Put the kayak in and paddled straight to this spot because I had a good feeling about it. I caught her on the first cast at that spot. Air temp was 38 degrees, but water temp was much higher. It's the fish in my avatar.
CroakHunter reply :
7 a.m.
My next 5 biggest have been around 11 or noon.
Troy85 reply :
Around noon.
tander reply :
PB came a few minutes before noon. I can remember the time because out emergency sirens go off as a test at 12noon every month.
WRB reply :
The 5 giant bass I list were all caught in the AM between sunrise and 9:30 on jigs.

18 pounders are probably already napping by 10....... Since they do whatever the heck they want!!!
J.Vincent reply :
I fished a lot of very skinny water with heavy shallow cover last year and my best we’re caught mid day....but typically and historically this isn’t the case. I usually catch my better fish after 5pm
Mobasser reply :

NYWayfarer reply :
PB Smallmouth Bass was caught at 9:40am
PB Largemouth was sometime around 11am That's my best guess as it was a long time ago.
Glaucus reply :
PB LMB - around 6pm
I was fishing with a buddy at a pond after work. He got skunked. I got my PB. Go figure. 4 inch Senko. 7lbs.
PB SMB - around 11am
I was fishing 40 yards off a river dam, wading in a foot of water, with my wife, waiting the other couple to show up so we could spend the day wading down the river. Ned Rig. 4lbs.
I live in Illinois.

PB largie was caught between 1pm and 3pm but it was in the early spring when the water was still really cold.
However, most of my other big bass are caught right around or a little after sunrise or right around or a little before sunset.
N Florida Mike reply :
PB was around 11 a.m .No scale but taxidermist said 9 pounds. 24 1/2 inch. Only fish I ever mounted. And it was my only bite that warm and windy december morning.
Runner up was between 12-1 pm 8.6 pounds

Soulfisher reply :
4pm 11.10lb. I was worn out from punching all day. Buddy i was with is an animal and i would had been off the water and hour earlier if it had been my boat. Thankfully he wanted to keep fishing and I got my PB because of that.

1:15 pm late Fall.
18RangerZ520L reply :
First thing in the morning, 12lb 8oz.
It was on the final day of a 4 day trip, the best 4 days of largemouth fishing in my life to date. I broke my PB 5 times that trip. Had 34lb 8oz for my best 5 on day two, then 35lb for my best 5 on day 3. Day 4 I caught the 12lb 8oz and she was the only fish I caught that day. I'm smiling ear to ear remembering that trip while typing this..... 
Todd2 reply :
My bigger ones come at night with the exception of my PB that came on a late November windy afternoon.
