What is your biggest bass of the year so far and what did you catch it on? Mine is a 4lber. Pic in my is in my avatar.
My biggest this year is a 21" 5.1# St. Clair smallie. It attacked a #7 silver/blue Rattlin Rapala in 6' of water.
Falcon
6lbs 12oz, is also my personal best. Caught swimming a jig. The picture I posted is the same fish in my avatar. Posted this pic b/c I think it looks bigger in this one, but everyone else says it looks bigger in the avatar pic.
The 11-4 in my avatar is the biggest of the year...for now
6-8 ..... and like 4bizz said "for now" I really want to break the 7 lbs mark.
Mine is a tie, 5#9oz. Here's pics...
This one was caught March 24th.
This one was caught May 7th. This one was a much prettier fish! About 1 1/2 in shorter than the first.
both were caught in Blood River on Kentucky Lake, about a mile apart. Ok, after looking at them again...They were both beautiful fish and should still be out there waiting to give someone else a big thrill!
That is a pretty fish niksfishinmom. Congrats.
Probably this bass... Dont know how much he weighed
caught a 10-7 on a farm pond using a white spinner bait with a white lake fork lure company lizard trailer. sorry no pics
7lbs on a Zoom 6in june bug lizard pic in my avatar.
I got a 9-13 on an osprey swimbait.
12 lbs 8 ozs Rat-L-Trap
WOW!!! Nice fish... by the way guys mine was on a gold bladed, white and chartruse chatterbait.
3.5 on a watermelon tiki stick
Mine was just yesterday at 4.5 lbs. Caught on a Strike King 3X Zero on the edge of some lilly pads leading into deeper water....
only 5 pounds so far, but that is due to change very soon!
I posted pics a couple months ago, but I caught a 10.6# and a 12.11# back in April. I'm still working on getting a bigger fish! A 15# + would be nice.
15lbs 12oz on Mattlures Bluegill.
7lbs on a floating rapala bleeding pearl color.
4lbs - 9oz - Caught on a Chompers Brush Jig Head with a 3" Black/Blue Yum Wooly Hawgtail
My biggest bass is still swimming in Lake Gaston, Virginia, with one of my favorite Bandit shad crankbaits in his mouth.
He took off and never looked back.
I had the drag set too tight and he popped the line.
Otherwise, I did land a 4 pounder two weeks ago at a private pond on a 5 inch Senko.
7.9lbs. on t-rigged Berkley sabertail bug. Unfortuanately bass don't get much bigger in Switzerland/
5 lbs. 6" senko
My biggest this year read 8lb 5oz on a berkeley digital scale. I think it was actually a little over 7lb. Caught it on a pop-r.
9.5lbs, green pumpkin horny toad.
5-2 on a booyah pumpkin jig with rattles n a baby brush hog trailer caught it yesterday
6lb 2oz (pic in my avatar), caught on a watermelon seed Zoom trick worm
9lbs 10oz on GYBC 5" black / blue senko, hopefully I will catch one over 10lbs. this year.
mine is a 13 pounder it is my avatar caught on a red shad lizard in about 3 feet of water i spotted her
My biggest bass I have ever brought in was 4lb 9oz., don't have a pic of it unfortunately since I wasn't in the practice of bringing a camera with me (didn't have my digital yet anyway). That was almost two years ago. I have been trying to break the 5 lb mark ever since then. Caugt it on a Zebco 33 (my only rod at the time) and a texas rigged ZOOM! 7" Pumpkin/Chartreuse U-Tail Worm working the worm through a large weedbed lining the bank. Pretty much ruined my reel. ;D
my biggest of the year 4lbs. 4oz.
4lbs on a 10inch moccasin colored culprit worm. Click the picture for a bigger image.
Very nice bass & Great job everyone!
I didn't get started until the beginning of April this year because of my boat remodel I've only caught 5 between 10 lbs & 11 lbs 6 oz so far, but have caught 24 bass over 8 lbs since April.
I won't bore anyone by reposting any pics because most have seen them anyway (Outing and S.E. forums), There will be plenty more before this year is over to post later.
Keep up the Great work all!

Some of you guys who catch such big fish, shouldn't be allowed on these forums, you put us to shame!!
Haha, I was pretty happy about my 6lb 1oz bass this spring, but jeezus 12lbs, and 11lbs, and 9lbs, all wonderful fish guys!
Oh well, my 6 1oz was on a 5" *** watermelon seed.
Here's a picture of the second biggest that came close, but a broken old scale kept me from getting a reliable weight.
5 lb 2 oz in my avatar pic. I was hoping to score big this year, but Spring really stunk for me. I've caught some decent fish (4-5 lbs), but no monsters.

I believe that you may get the wrong impression from most of the Southern & Western fishermen.
Most of us have the utmost respect for all fishermen from around the globe and the skill they have in catching bass. There are Great fishermen everywhere and in some regions it takes just as much, if not more skill to boat 6 lb -7 lb bass on a regular basis.
I for one Salute all of you for setting goals and doing your best to reach them. This isn't a big bass contest. It is a place where fellowship and a common love for fishing brings us all together to share.
Again, Great Job to All & God Bless,
Dave
A LM that went 5-4 on 5-26-07. I got him on a watermelon candy Zoom z-nail.

Very true
I mean, some of you southern boys that post these 7,8,9 lbers. I'm like, "pshhh You call that a fish?!?!" Not even 10 lbs ;D ;D ;D just joking of course
That's the great thing about fishing. It's all relative. From person to person. Region to region. Lake to lake
Roughly 4 lbs didn't have a scale with me. Caught on a strike king popper in May on Lake Norman. Can't get to the pic right now.
8-1 on a Mattlures LMB Swimbait
Man yall sure do catch some big bass the bigest bass i ever caught was 3.5 lbs but hopefully that will increase. Not to many people catch big fish around here.
7 lbs 8 oz. Caught on Long Island
Have been in Florida 2 and half years, have caught numeous 5 and 6 lbers, but can't seem to break that 8 lb mark.
Frustrating, but I'll get it.
My biggest this year was 4lbs 9oz at Beech Lake in April with a a 3/8oz Chartreuse Strike King Spinnerbait.
My biggest ever was a 6lb 4oz on the Tennessee River at Perryville witch is technically Kentucky Lake on a blue 1/4oz Strike King Jig.
I caught my new P.B for the year yesterday, besting my previous one by 1oz. Fish weight 4lbs. 1oz., and was caught on a Black with Blue Flake fat ika
