cart7t reply :

I've caught smaller but my only fish today was only around 4-5 inches. Got the back treble stuck in his mouth. I barely knew he was on.

Chug Bug reply :

Here's mine.

CJ reply :

My smallest bass was caught when I was eight years old I caught about a 2 1/2 inch bass on a rooster tail at a pond my Dad and I fished alot.Keep in mind I was only eight,so I told Dad the little bass looked like good bait.I fixed a hook and bobber up and threw it out in the middle of the pond.That little bass didn't last no time and I was hooked up with my longest standing PB at 4 1/2 lbs.That fish was my PB for over 15 years.

Hightekrednek reply :

about 2 inches, I was five or six, and I rigged up a single egg hook with a tiny piece of worm and a bobber right under a dock. Last year I caught a 3 incher on a huge shad-rap. The rapala was twice as long as he was! I wonder what he was thinking. :-?

I just have big hands.

RoLo reply :

Smallmouth bass are real scrappers!

How long did it take to subdue him? :-/ :-?

Siebert Outdoors reply :

Dont you guys see my outtings posts, they are all small. LOL ;D

I dont have a pic but to estimate my smallest would be about 3-4" also.

senile1 reply :

Well, the smallest bass I ever hooked would be a world record, but, d&*$, if it didn't shake its mighty head and throw the hook at the boat. I'm still seeking to beat my personal best in this category. :

Pond-Pro reply :

About 2 inches (seriously). I was using my smallest hook fishing for bluegill. This bass bit and i jerked it out of the water. The fish flew off the hook and went behind me. It was so small I didnt even really hook it. Then I released it to grow bigger.

basspro48 reply :

Mine was about a 2" spotted bass, it somehow managed to fit the 3/0 Gamakatsu hook in its skinny little mouth.

BassKing813 reply :

Mine is a 1in minnow that I caught on a Bomber 6A crankbait. The funniest part was that it wasn't even hooked. It somehow got stuck in between the treble hooks. I didn't take a pic because I only consider 2in minnows to be lunker size.

ScroGG ToGG reply :

haha this is my kinda post! my PB smallest was about 4inches. i know, cuz it was about an inch shorter than the 5' Senko i caught it on. wish the hawgs were that fiesty. :'(

scott000 reply :

wow those are some tiny guys

Lightninrod reply :

This isn't the smallest but it was the most enjoyable catch. The little one grabbed the Zoom worm and flailed about on top when all of a sudden, the bigger Bass grabbed the little one. I lucked out in that the Sugoi EWG hook stuck the big one after going thru the little one's gills. 8-)

Poor Richard reply :

We often get bass just under 2" when bluegill fishing. Also, we release lots of fiesty ones that are just shorter than the Rapala they've bitten. There is a moral here: if bass grew as big as grouper, you couldn't go swimming in your home pond! The tiny percentage of bass that make it to adulthood, let alone lunkerhood, must know that their first rule is to attack, eat, fight fight fight. A really angry 8" bass is a model of aggressive toughness. What a fish. No wonder we love 'em.

Bream Master reply :

My smallest bass was about the size of a bass minnow. Maybe a couple of mm longer and slightly with more girth. I caught him in running water beside a dam fishing for bream to use as bait for strippers.

CK14 reply :

i caught (snagged really) about a 2" smallmouth with a drop shot.

mudcatwilly reply :

I caught a 2-inch LMB on a cast master. I tried to throw it back before anyone saw me

BassBuster22 reply :

Last week I caught a little 4 incher on a Heddon Topwater.

WhiteMike1018 reply :

all i can say is wow lol

Bassassasin12 reply :

heres my smallest

I just shook him off the hook before anyone could see too

Syfer420 reply :

hahahah thats that california 25 lber isnt it ;D ;D

Peter E. reply :

I took my girl friend fishing at a lake by the house a couple of weeks ago and she reeled in a 4 incher on a mann's minus 1. The tremle hook wne through the brain and killed the fish. She loves to fish but is big on the idea of catch and release (one of my prouder accomplishments!) and she felt horrible for the rest of the day. Of course me calling her a murder didn't help much .

I like to fly fish for blue gill so my smallest bass isn't even worth pondering over. I just kiss em' and let em' swim, no matter what their size.

NEBassMan reply :

Here's mine....caugt 6 this size that day

ScroGG ToGG reply :

heres my buddy Jordan with a Jersey lunker.

Little did we know, all that green behind him was poison ivy.

Guess what direction we just came from. :-[

FatBoy reply :

I can't compete with some of ya'll when it comes to tiny fish, but here's a nice little yellow bass I caught this pass summer on a roostertail...

It's the smallest "bass" I have caught. Actually this was the same day as the fish in my avatar.

Chug Bug reply :

FATBOY! You are wearing the exact same outfit as your avatar. Pretty cool!

Darn I'm stupid, I didn't see the line below your picture.

Troutfisher reply :

A 3 inch LM caught at my grandma's small creek is my smallest. Caught on a tiny earthworm. I was fishing for minnows to use for bait. The bass was about this big...
