What is your largest bass?

LunkerLMB73 reply :

It would be great if you posted the location, bait, and weather of the time when you caught your bass.

smallmouth bass are included!

Fishwhittler reply :

My biggest was about 16". I caught it at a farm pond on a Pikie knock-off that I made. I don't remember what time it was, but it was sunny with a slight breeze. Here's the bait:

mjhutch1116 reply :

Mine was caught at a tournament using a brush hog, watermelon candy color in the summer at about 9:30 in the morning. She was just over 4lbs.

LunkerLMB73 reply :

Sounds like a nice fish! My personal biggest was a 23 1/2 inches long.

Long Mike reply :

Why is this question so important that you feel the need to start a poll? Are you working on a research paper?

preach4bass reply :

She weighed 8-15, but don't know the length. :-/

Same reason you have to take your precious time to post on this thread I guess?

LunkerLMB73 reply :

Is making the poll wrong? If you want you can vote on it.

fishfordollars reply :

There is a running thread requesting information on largest bass caught that has already been put up this week. It comes up monthly(Or daily, weekly, or hourly).

Do a search.

x2, you can cut the sarcasim n bitterness with a knife lately

in any event mine was bout 24" to 25" and a chunky one thru the ice, I have some others that were as big but never realyy measured or weighed.

mrlitetackle reply :

in your terms,

i dunno????

....never measure them, only putt'em on the scale.

Olebiker reply :

I only measure the length of a bass to determine whether it is long enough to keep in a tournament.

My largest bass was 9 pounds 6 ounces. I have no idea how long it was.

LunkerLMB73 reply :

yep

JSJ reply :

My biggest would be the one I have in the outing in the pics on here which would be 23 inchs around 8lbs

Glenn reply :

My biggest are:

9 lb 1 oz Largemouth

5 lb 12 oz Smallmouth

I have no idea how long either of them were.

chubaka reply :

Mines was 18.5inches caught with a watermelon senko wacky rigged.

RoLo reply :

The day I landed my biggest bass, I didn't have any scale, ruler or camera.

I decided to keep her for my den, and laid her down next to the gunwale.

Her weight unbalanced my boat, and water came rushing over the gunwale like a waterfall!!!

To prevent my boat from swamping, I had no choice but to quickly toss her back in the lake.

I will not hazard a guess as to her weight & length, for fear of being accused of a "fish story"

Tin reply :

I have 2 largemouth at 8-6 and 8-9. Not too bad for New England I guess.

senko_77 reply :

Biggest was 14.7 and she was right at 28.5"

I guess she was looking for a small snack because she bit the BPS Super Finesse Craw t-rigged with a 1/0 Gammy and a 1/16oz slip sinker

senile1 reply :

My biggest was 23.5 inches and weighed 7 lbs 5 oz. She was caught on a 3/8 oz spinnerbait with a colorado and willowleaf blade combination.

senile1 reply :

After posting I looked at the poll and there are six people who voted for the choice, "Larger than 28 - 30 inches long." I would love to hear these anglers give us their stories. Those are some freaking huge fish.

I remember your big bass Ryan, she was a real fatty.

My longest measured 28.25", but weighed 12-3

nope, not bad at all. in fact, that's awesome. i knew you'd caught some nice ones, but nothing like that. those are real trophies for sure. even down here, many guys would call those fish of a lifetime. i would say that would be the equivalent of a teen fish in the south. congrats. now go catch another one.

I was hoping that my story was absurd enough to liberate me from providing a weight. ;D

I suppose that such a preposterous scenario is remotely possible if I were fishing for mako shark

from a 12-ft aluminum rowboat, but NOT my biggest bass :

NasTMcfingas reply :

My biggest (longest) was 24 1/2inches and I didn't have a scale but I keep a tape measure in my tacklebox. I guessed her to be around 6-7lbs but without a scale one can only guess. : I did take a quick pic before I let her go.

GRiver reply :

Mine was a 22" smallmouth with a girth of 14.5".

i've been had :-X

Oscar O. reply :

Mine was at Spring Lake, here in Santa Rosa, CA. It measured 24 inches and weighed 8 pounds. My dad and i were fishing all afternoon and didnt catch anything, and right before the park closed, that fish came along and made my day! Caught it wacky rigging a 4.5in storm rattle finesse worm in the holographic purple color. I thought my rod was going to break (it was a cheap old spinning combo with old line used in both salt and fresh water. Looking back, I'm glad nothing went wrong because it wouldnt have taken much for that to be a lost fish...)

retiredbosn reply :

Longest smallie 19.5 inches

Longest Largemouth 23.75inches

Smallie was caught on a black/blue chatterbait with a Zoom vibra craw trailer

Largemouth was caught on a double propped buzzbait chart/white don't remember the manufacturer.
