Hot Rod reply :
No, I don't name any fish.
Except when I catch them in a tournament then I call each one "Money"! 
"Hey GET THE NET...THATS MY MONEY FISH!"
(Wish Quantum hadn't taken that commercial off air and off their site. )
J Francho reply :
I had a huge steelhead buck in one of my local ditches that broke three rods, and many, many leaders. He had a name that I can't say here.
;D

I don't even name the ones in the glass tank beside me. But then again, they're just food for the turtle...
LunkerBandit reply :
There's a massive largemouth in one of my local ponds who is always jumping around. I call him "The Boss". No matter what i throw at him i just cant get him to bite.
Five-Alive reply :
Yes, but only one in a pond that Hook Set and I fish. He caught her last and she was 27.75" long with a 19.5" girth. The pond owners son called her Sam but we have dubbed her "Samantha".
Grey Wolf reply :
I have called them names but have never named one.

Were they all sons of something?
islandbass reply :
Normally not, but a few anglers and I have a name for a nice sized largie in a small lake.
We call her big mama. 
Not huge by Texas or California standards, but in my neck of the woods, she is pretty big. Caught without a boat, a crankbait and 8# mono. I'll never forget this battle.
piscicidal reply :
There's a bass I've seen twice at Loxahatchee Reserve (affectionately called "Lox" by South Florida BR members) that is well into the double digits. I'm pretty sure it's the same bass as I've seen it in the same place and I've never seen another one even as close to this size.
I call her the Lox Ness Monster.
webertime reply :
There's this LM that lives in certain weed bed less than 50 yards from a really popular beach on Champlain. A fish this big in a body of water this big shouldn't be there...
We saw her a few times this past season as she was blowing up on Perch, bullhead, P-Seeds on the surface. She looked to be as thick as a gallon jug of Gatorade. We flipped her bed for hours upon hours this summer and never were able to get her. We started doing "Chuck Norris of Bass" jokes, then it drifted into Osama Bin Laden jokes (can't catch) then we finally settled in on "Al Qaeda Bass".

Nosoup4u reply :
I have on bass that comes to eat when the fish feeder goes off at my pond. I have named her Fontella. Some of you over 50 will get that.

Did she say to you "Rescue me" ?

MNGeorge reply :
Hasn't happened lately, but several years back there was a nice Smallie everyone in our group caught at least three times one Fall...some of us caught him/her more than once in the same day. Anyway, it had a huge black spot on one side, so we called it "spotty".
Gangley reply :
We stocked our office pond with Tigre Bass last year, but it had a good population of sunfish already established. While we were feeding the sunfish the crickets, I noticed that one of the fingerling tigre bass would always be right in the middle of things trying to get all the crickets. He eventually started coming up to the bank when he saw me coming and would almost eat a cricket from between my fingers, but never actually did. I named him Buddy, and I saw him again yesterday for the first time since winter started. He is now about 6-8 inches long and looking good.

I have that as a ringtone! I love that commercial.
I call every large bass "big mama." That's as close as i get to naming them.

Ive caught the same bass three times and my wife caught her once out of a pond. The bottum of her tail has about 1/4'' missing out of it. We call her "cowboy boot".

lol Same
Never named any but there are some I look for, these are bass with certain distinguishing marks. I caught one today that I will be looking for in the future, he is little but unmistakable if caught again. I've seen some with black spots as well, but I think they lose these spots after awhile?

gotarheelz14 reply :
The biggest bass I have ever caught got named. I used to have what is probably the fattest Gerbil in history. I mean this thing was a HOSS. Double the size of his gerbil brother peanut.
My girlfriend and I named the fat one "Gus" and called him "Gus-Gus" like the fat mouse in Disney's Cinderella.
When I posted the pics of my PB (probably around 10lbs) and I was tagging myself, I decided to tag the fish too.
"Gus-Gus" haha!
Beastie Bass reply :
My buddy and I both caught the same disfigured, or possibly handicap bass! He was only around a pound but from the rear of his dorsal fin to the tip of his tail was WAY smaller than it should have been and was twisted at a 45 degree angle from his body! Maybe he was mangled as a minnow and managed to survive. we affectionately named him "The bass with no @ss." I hope to land him again just to get pictures!
